The aim is to provide and explain the basic concepts of environmental toxicology, explain the occurrence of environmental toxicants, their fate and transport in the environment. Within the course the students will be acquainted with the toxic effects of selected representatives of environmental toxicants, their transformation in the environment. The students will be acquainted with the risks and hazards of toxic substances, risk assessment and management as well as an overview of the basic environmental toxicants and their toxic and dangerous properties.

Attendance at lectures is recommended but not checked. For students of the combined form, consultations are organized in the scope of lectures for students of the day form of study. Consultations are also provided to students of daily study on demand.
An integral part of the lesson is the e-learning course, divided into blocks where students are available to support learning, including electronic textbooks, presentations, lectures and other supplementary materials.
