Lecture – oral exam (at least 50% of questions must be answered)
Laboratory course – 100% participation in the course, elaboration of protocols and their approval, elaboration of essay and its presentation

Lecture
1. Analyte isolation (extraction), precleaning and preconcentration steps – water and solid samples with focusing on organic analysis
2. Persistent organic pollutants analysis (PAH, PCB, PBDE, PFOs, …)
3. Analysis of drug residues, pesticides in environment
4. Analysis of personal care products, petroleum substances and polymers in environment
5. Validation, SOP, EU legislation, EPA methods
6. GC/MS and LC/MS in forensic analysis of organic compounds
7. Basic methods for air analysis (NOx, SO3, CO2, volatile compounds, O3, PM10, …)
8. Introduction to inorganic analysis, aspects of (ultra)trace analysis – theory and practice
9. Mineralization of environmental samples and extraction and preconcentration techniques used in inorganic analysis
10. Instrumental analytical techniques used in inorganic analysis
11. ICP-MS in environmental analysis, speciation – applications, analysis of liquids and solids
12. Forensic applications – stable isotopes and isotopic systems of selected elements
13. Monitoring of inorganic pollutants, legislation

Laboratory course
Block 1
1. Abiotic matrices sampling using conventional procedures (soil and water)
2. Abiotic matrices sampling with new non-traditional methods – passive sampling

Block 2
1. Preanalytical treatment of collected matrices to laboratory sample (soil)
2. Isolation of selected priority pollutants based on inorganic and organic pollutants

Block 3
1. Analysis of inorganic substances in samples abiotic matrices (mercury, lead, cadmium, nitrates)
2. Analysis of organic pollutants in samples of abiotic matrices (PAHs, PCBs, pharmaceuticals, musk compounds, pesticides)

The aim of the course is to inform students about theoretical and practical knowledge of selected methods used for analysis organic and inorganic substances in the field of environmental and forensic analysis. Students will be acquainted with various sampling procedures, basic aspects of trace analysis, legislation and application of selected analytical methods in solving a specific analytical problem.

Attendance at the lecture is not required, only recommended.
Attendance at practices is mandatory. For the credit awards it is essential to completing all tasks.
