This course introduces students to the quality of inland and coastal waters. The course will help students to know the most important environmental pollution problems, what measurements are necessary for specific environmental problems, organize sampling in water bodies, evaluate and interpret the experimental results, and implement experimental results for identification and localization problems and to propose technical solutions.
At the end of this course the student will be able to: 1. Explain the basic principles of water pollution 2. Analyze Process Chemistry in the Hydrosphere 3. Collect all the necessary information for biochemical processes in the hydrosphere 4. Explain the effects of pollutants on hydrosphere chemistry 5. Explain the effects of pollutants and their toxicity 6. Use physicochemical and physical treatment of pollutants 7. Explain the minimization and prevention of pollution 8. Take measures for the remediation of water bodies
