| Description | The laboratory course, Fundamentals of Environmental Processes Research (E1230), is intended for students of the first semester of the follow-up aster's degree program, Environment and Health at the Faculty of Science Masaryk University, taught in the autumn semester. The course is directly associated with computational seminar E6050, and lecture E6051 The fate of toxic substances in the environment. The main aim of these courses is to acquaint students with the chemical and physical laws that allow a qualitative and quantitative description of the fate of chemicals in the environment, including the transport and balance of substances between compartments, and their chemistry in matrices and biomes. The aim of the course Fundamentals of Environmental Processes Research is to transfer theoretical knowledge about the behaviour of chemicals in the environment and processes at phase interfaces to the level of practical skills. The course includes laboratory experiments focused on environmental processes, transport and balance of substances between compartments, following the content of the new field of study Environment and Health. During the exercises, students will gain valuable practical skills with currently used trends, techniques and instrumentation of modern environmental chemistry. Also, students will proceed as independently as possible, to learn as much as possible, their own practical laboratory experience, and be able to independently implement all stages of laboratory procedures, including their perception of context. |
