Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
To master the terms from the area of the environmental chemistry. To make the acquaintance of the fate of the chemical substances in the environmental constituents (water, soil, atmosphere), with the global biogeochemical cycles, and the anthropogenic impact of the energetic and chemical processes. To go through the principles of the fundamental technologies of the waste-gas and waste-water treatment.

Summary
The subject recapitulates the pieces of knowledge of the environmental chemistry and chemical technology regarding the impact to the hydrosphere and atmosphere. It presents the methods of the environment protection and the interference with the technologies of the energetic and chemical processes giving rise to the reduction of the emissions of the sulphur dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, and the volatile organic substances. The attention is given to the chemical, physical, and biological waste-water purification.
The tutorial will be used for the excursion to the sewage works and to the typical energetic and chemical plants in the region.
