Course objectives
The main objective of the course is to obtain an overview and deeper knowledge in the field of analysis of inorganic pollutants in environmental samples (water, air, sediments, soil, biological materials) ranging from sampling of individual types of samples to final analysis of different groups of pollutants.

At the end of the course, students should be able to:
- understand the types of environmental samples and methods of inorganic analysis
- choose suitable sampling technique
- outline the parameters important for treatment of samples of water, atmosphere, soils and biological materials
- compare the performances for methods for the determination of inorganic pollutants in the environment
- propose suitable analytical procedure and method for

Course objectives
An introductory course in the field of environmental analytical chemistry. Part dealing with inorganic pollutants (J. Komárek) is introducing the topic of QA/QC and, further, is mainly dedicated to the determination of inorganic pollutants in the environment. Sources of contamination, sampling techniques, sample treatment, and methods of determination are discussed. Analytical chemistry of organic pollutants (A. Hrdlička) is introduced by evaluation of the effects of transport and metabolization of pollutants on sample properties and by a chapter dedicated to data quality in environmental analysis. Part on sampling and fundamental techniques of sample processing follows. Analytical chemistry of groups of common organic pollutants (PAHs, PCBs, OCPs, PCDDs/PCDFs, chlorophenols) is discussed afterwards in detail.
