Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
Obtaining basic knowledge not only about environmental sampling in relation to its share in the overall uncertainty of environmental analyzes but also in instrumental analytical methods. This will increase student readiness to solve analytic problems by selected instrumental methods.
Obtaining the competence to work in an analytical laboratory with basic instrumental equipment, the ability to present and evaluate the results, to learn the correct principles of working with the sample.

Summary
The lecture provides information about selected modern instrumental methods of research and monitoring of the environment, its use and application. During the lectures, students will get acquainted with the principles of analytical methods that are commonly used in control and development analytical laboratories.
Compulsory literature:
Recommended literature:
Way of continuous check of knowledge in the course of semester
Each laboratory exercise starts with a 5-minute 6-question test, to prove that the student read the manual (instructions to the laboratory exercise) and is able to work safely and purposefully. Three questions in the test need to be answered correctly to be allowed to work. If not the test is classified “0 points”. Each laboratory exercise is classified after delivering the final report or not classified if the report is not delivered or delivered late.
