Environmental Chemistry and Technology

Understanding of the formations, possible reactions of environmental polluting materials. The students becomes familiar with the chemistry of pollutants in the air, water and soil. The main chemical and physico-chemical processes in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and biosphere will be discussed. Chemical basis and the effects of the environmentally harmful materials on the living and non-living objects will be presented as well. The students will be able to identify contaminants resulting from technological processes. They learn about the modern technological processes reducing the harmful emissions decreasing the environmental degradation.
