Environmental Chemistry - Educational objectives
- The main aim of the teaching is to provide students with the basis for an
understanding of the biogeochemical cycles which determine the
chemical structure and the fluxes of matter and energy between the
main spheres (atmosphere, lithosphere, biosphere, idrosphere).
Discussion of the basic environmental issues from a cheical perspective. - Prerequisites
- In order to be able to understand the concept developed in the course
you must have followed with a positive result the course of General Chemistry; - Teaching methods
- Face to face lessons; lectures on all subjects of the course.
- Other information
- none
- Learning verification modality
- The exam is an oral interview of about 30 minutes aiming at ascertain the
knowledge level and the understanding capability acquired by the
student on theoretical and methodological contents as indicated in the
programme. - Extended program
