Extended program	Atmospheric Pollution: The layers of the atmosphere, their composition, and their chemical-physical properties. Main sources of pollution. Pollution from the combustion and their toxic effects. Polluting secondary and their formation: the acid rains, the formation of ozone in the low atmospheric layers: the fotosmog. Ozone destruction in the stratosphere. Pollution of the water resources: Hydrosphere chemical-physical properties. Water natural cycle. Classes of polluting and their danger environmental. The bacterial metabolism: anabolism and catabolism. Influences some bacterial metabolism on the cleansing of the water resources. Proceeded aerobic and anaerobic and main biological reactions involved. The measure of the biochemical request of oxygen, BOD, and of that chemistry, COD. Pollution of the lakes, the main effects leading to the phenomenon of eutrophication. Study of causes and damages produced. Soil pollution: natural and main sources of pollution. Pollution from agricultural practices. The behavior of pollutants in the soil.
