Learning outcomes
|
The course will focus on providing an overview, explaining the principles, and history of environmental burdens. In addition to their classification, legislative framework, and types of contaminants, the course will focus on methods of monitoring and remediation of these burdens. The course will also present significant environmental burdens in the Czech Republic and around the world, as well as successful and unsuccessful methods of their remediation. For a better understanding of the context of remediation work, students will take the course Remediation Technologies and Water Treatment Methods, where they will learn in detail about remediation methods and related issues. To understand the principles of environmental burdens and their origins, it is also advisable to take the course Hydrology and Hydrochemistry. The exercises will deepen students' knowledge through practical examples and will focus on solving specific cases in a group of students ? analysis of environmental burdens, their origins, identification of errors in their solution or prevention.
Learning outcomes: The student understands the concept of environmental burdens, including practical examples (mega sites). The student understands the basic processes of the creation and removal of these burdens. The student can demonstrate these principles using simple examples.
