Course detail

Laboratory Classes in Environmental Analytical Chemistry

FCH-MCO_ENA_PAcad. year: 2012/2013

Acquisition of knowledge on environmental analytical chemistry focused on system of sampling and basic analysis proper. Students will collect samples from environment, isolate selected analytes from given matrix and perform their determination by selected analytical procedures. They will design standard operating procedures (SOP) for sampling and analysis. They will have a clear idea on the necessity to follow the QA/QC system regulations.
