- Educational objectives
- The main objective of the course is to provide students with the technical and regulatory tools to address the assessment of the environmental impact of products and processes on the atmosphere component, the water environment and the noise component.
The main knowledge acquired will be:
knowledge of environmental indicators;
basic knowledge of how to spread pollutants in air and water;
knowledge of technologies, procedures and technological solutions for environmental impact mitigation. - Prerequisites
- Not required
- Teaching methods
- The course is organized as follows:
- classroom lessons on all the course topics;
- classroom seminars with industry experts who will deepen course topics;
- educational visit (optional) to research centers and bodies responsible for environmental control which allows students to verify visually what is illustrated during the lessons. - Other information
- Learning verification modality
- Oral test
- Extended program
- Climate changes.
Causes of climate change, future scenarios and external costs. Indicators correlated with climate change: radiative forcing e
comparison between anthropogenic and natural drivers. The CO2 equivalent and the
indicators related to it: carbon abtment cost, mitigation potential.
