Summary
The course focuses not only on the basic but also on the specific problems connected with the sampling of different components of the environment. The student will deepen the basic knowledge of field sampling and after-treatment of the sample in the laboratory, but also in the field.

Way of continuous check of knowledge in the course of semester
Active participation in practice and submission of all protocols from laboratory tasks. Successful processing of partial tasks related to laboratory practice, which are given in the semester (sampling, sample preparation, etc.). Successful completion of written tests (computational and theoretical) prior to commencing a practical task when the student proves that he / she is sufficiently prepared to solve the given practical task. The requirement is also to successfully pass the final credit test.
