Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The objective is to learn chemical composition of natural, drinking and waste waters and to study processes in the waters as well as processes that affect forms of occurrence of individual substances in water, and to learn about distribution and properties of such substances. The subject deals with the origin, changes and impacts on various substances on properties of the water.
