Abstract
The aim of the course is to acquire practical knowledge and skills in the field of analysis of organic and inorganic pollutants in environmental samples.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this course the student will be able to:
- Apply knowledge gained during lectures on environmental analytical chemistry.
- Transfer the theoretical knowledge to the level of practical skills.
- Demonstrate the main techniques of extraction, fractionation, separation and identification suitable for the determination of organic and inorganic substances in environmental samples (air, water, soil, biologial matrices).
- Explore and evaluate the possibilities of different analytical instrumentation.
- Develop the laboratory skills necessary for routine work in the analytical laboratory.
- Understand the principles of good laboratory practice. Evaluate the quality of analytical work. Interpret the obtained experimental data.
Key topics
  • 1. Case study - passive air sampling at a student selected site
  • 2. Determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in passive air sample (sampled by student)
  • 3. Determination of metabolites in urine samples
    4. Determination of essential and toxic elements in human hair
Study resources and literature
  • Manuál ke cvičení dostupný v PDF formátu
Approaches, practices, and methods used in teaching
Classes are held every week or in blocks as needed. Students will process and analyse samples under the guidance of instructors. Students will prepare a protocol from the obtained data.
Method of verifying learning outcomes and course completion requirements
100% attendance, protocols
Alternate completion
To acquire skills, it is necessary to complete all laboratory exercises. If the student is unable to participate, there will be a possibility of substitutions at the end of the semester or individually (contact instructors).
Language of instruction
