Lecture:
Environmental Monitoring. Surface water and wastewater analytics. Methods of taking liquid samples. Methods of preservation of samples. Water quality indicators (summary parameters). Determination of detergents, fats and phenols in wastewater. Soil, plant and food analytics. Forms of chemical degradation of soils and plants. Standards and regulations concerning water, soil and air pollution. Methods of taking and averaging soil samples. Soil acidity. Salinity. Basic air pollutants (dust, particulate matter, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, ozone). Techniques of preparation and enrichment of natural samples: adsorption, extraction (LLE, SPE, SPME, SFE, HS, PiT), mineralization, membrane techniques. Xenobiotics in the ecosystem (air, water, soil and food - PAHs, BTX, THM, PCBs, pesticides). Analytical and instrumental methods (electrochemical, spectral, chromatographic, thermal and gravimetric).
