Students will know the legal aspects of rock environment protection.
Students will be acquainted with the main contaminants, which have a long-term impact on the environment, and characteristics of localities that fall under the area of old environmental burdens.
They will gain knowledge concerning the process of risk analysis and choice of remediation limits, on the basis of which the decontamination of the given site is decided.
They will know the main characteristics of saturated and unsaturated zone, which influence the choice of decontamination process and principles and methods of physical, chemical and biological decontamination technologies for saturated and unsaturated zone.
On the basis of this knowledge they will understand principles and methods of individual types of decontamination and will be able to design optimal decontamination technologies in concrete conditions.

Knowledge of environmental chemistry and ecotoxicology

The course is taught in the form of: Lecture - 2 lessons per week. LMS Moodle e-learning system is available for teachers and students.

During the semester student elaborates a seminar paper which is assigned at the beginning of the semester and presents it at the end of the semester. He also takes the exam.
