Učební cíle

Currently, many materials are used in environmental protection technologies and as green materials. In this course, students will learn about their production, application and benefits and environmental risks of their use and misuse.
In this course students will learn about the:
- production of materials used in environmental protection,
- application of materials used in environmental protection,
- benefits and environmental risks of materials used in environmental technologies and related subjects,
- new types of contaminants,
- effects of new materials on environmental systems.
