Intended learning outcomes

The course aims at giving the student a chemical understanding of the background and consequences of different chemical pollutants the biosphere, the hydrosphere and the atmosphere. After successfully completed course the course, participant will be able to:

  • understand the chemical processes behind important environmental problems and how they have occured
  • give chemical explaination to acid rain, ozon depletion, global warming, and the spread of toxic chemical pollutants on a global scale
  • analyze effects of different chemical pollutants effect on plants and animals
  • discuss the actions taken to restrict major environmental problems
  • understand, judge and to predict effects of different chemical on health and environment
  • reflect over ethical dilemmas in related to environmental chemistry questions.

Course content

Chemistry of the ozone layer, air pollutants, green house effects and global warming and their environmental consequences. The nature of different toxic organic compounds and heavy metals polluted natural waters and treatment of wastewater. Further, to give an orientation waste elimination, substainable development in the environmental area.

Teaching and working methods

Lectures, seminars.
The course runs over the entire spring semester.
