Syllabus
The course deals initially with a general description of natural systems (atmosphere, water and soil) and geochemical cycles (Carbon, Sulphur, Nitrogen) in order to introduce the effects of the impacts from anthropic (civil and industrial) activities. In a second part, the environmental laws and regulations in the time, pollution control and problem solving, as well as analytical issues, are discussed for each specific field: air (emissions, outdoor and workplace air quality), water (classification, wastewater control and treatment problems), solid waste (definitions, classification and disposal management).
