Purpose and description of the content of education:
The main objective of the Natural Environment Geochemistry module is to study the mechanisms of element circulation in the outer layers of the Earth, interactions between biotic and abiotic elements of the environment, and environmental geochemical changes in the lithosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere. Assessment of the effects of anthropogenic pollution - local, regional, and global problems (potentially toxic elements, particulate pollutants, and selected organic pollutants).
