Chemical substances have certain physical and chemical properties upon which they are valued and have their basic, everyday application. Educational objective of the course is to acquire knowledge about properties of chemical compounds such as explosiveness, flammability or toxicity, due to which contact with these substance is danger to a greater or lesser extent.

Acquired knowledge in basic modalities which are manifested in mechanical, thermal and chemical toxic harmful effects of chemical compounds. The knowledge of conditions under which certain substances are explosively decomposed with the release of flame, significant amounts of energy or different degradation products. The knowledge of the toxicity degree of individual chemical compounds, precaution measure and protection in handling them.

Theory lectures: Direct impact of harmful substances (the ways of acting of toxic materials, toxicity assessment, poison and degree of toxicity, risk and hazard classification from harmful substances). Indirect effects of hazardous substances (fire and categories of chemical fire, risk assessment of chemical fire, risk of fire and explosion). Transportation of hazardous materials. Storage and packaging of dangerous materials. Working with hazardous and harmful substances. Safety measures. Hazardous waste materials. First aid instructions. Practice: During the practice, practical application and experiments illustrate topics covered in lectures, thus contributing to better visualization and understanding of these topics.

Lectures. Experimental and Auditory Practice. Consultations. The examination can be taken in two colloquiums. Both colloquiums are taken in the written form. Colloquiums are held during the colloquial weeks in the semester. Students who don`t take the examination through colloquiums, have to take the final examination.
