Course detail
Sampling, Sample Treatment and Analysis of Harmful Compounds
FCH-MAO_OZSAcad. year: 2009/2010
Familiarization with methods of analysis of harmful compounds, applicable within the range of integrated rescue system. Methods of sampling in all states (solid, liquid, gaseous, biotic and abiotic), methods of sample treatment with emphasis on quick an effective procedures, methods of final analysis, techniques of identification and quantification of individual components. Special attention will be also paid to the methods of direct sample analysis.
