Introducing students of environmental engineering with the basic principles and laws of chemistry of the atmosphere, sources and fate of pollutants in the air.

Acquiring fundamental knowledge of the chemistry of air pollution and the phenomenon of degradation and the transformation processes in the atmosphere.

The main objective of the course is to introduce students to the complex problems of air pollution in the workplaces. General principles of prevention and control. The purpose of air monitoring in the workplace. Specific pollutants in technological processes ?f heavy, light and special industry, chemical and medical laboratories. Chemical fumes. Noxious gases. Solvent vapours. Suspended particles. Carcinogenic substances in the air of working place. Improving of the air quality in the workplace.

Lectures. Laboratory and calculation exercises. Consultations - individual and collective. During the semester, students are obliged to attend lectures and exercises, to pass colloquiums in a number of experimental exercises and to do a term paper. After successfully realized examination prerequisites, students take the final exam which consists of practical and oral part.
