Classification of organic pollutants. Toxicology of organic compounds. Coordination compounds. Basic principles of analytic chemistry. Qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis. Elements of the main group of the periodic table, compounds and chemical reactions: hydrogen, IA and IIA group; IIIA and IVA group; VA and VIA group; VIIA group. Elements of the sub-groups: IB (Cu, Ag, Au), IIB (Zn, Cd, Hg), VIB (Cr, Mo, W) and VIIB (Mn) and elements of the Fe triad: Fe, Co, Ni. Types of harmful effects of the chemical substances. Direct effects of the toxic organic and inorganic compounds. Indirect effects of the toxic organic and inorganic compounds. Flammability and explosiveness of organic and inorganic compounds. Explosive atmosphere.

Lectures. Laboratory and Computing Practice. Consultations – individual and group. During the semester, students are required to attend lectures, laboratory and computing classes. After successfully realized examination prerequisites, students take the final exam in written (computing part) and oral form (theoretical part). Written part of the exam can be quarterly taken through the two colloquiums.
