Purpose and description of the content of education:
The module is designed to familiarise students with the basic physicochemical indices used in air, water, soil and wastewater treatment technologies. Students are introduced to basic technologies allowing to reduce emissions of pollutants to air, water and soils, and to manage the products of these technological processes. Students are introduced to the basic unit processes used in various technologies for the production and remediation of the environment. Students are also introduced to groups of organisms of particular importance in biological environmental remediation technologies. In situ and ex situ bioremediation methods are introduced. The student masters the basic methods for the determination of physico-chemical and microbiological indicators of the quality of wastewater, water, soils and sewage sludge using classical analytical methods and spectroscopic methods and learns how to interpret the results obtained.
