Course objectives
An introductory course in the field of environmental analytical chemistry. Part dealing with inorganic pollutants (J. Komárek) is introducing the topic of QA/QC and, further, is mainly dedicated to the determination of inorganic pollutants in the environment. Sources of contamination, sampling techniques, sample treatment, and methods of determination are discussed. Analytical chemistry of organic pollutants (A. Hrdlička) is introduced by evaluation of the effects of transport and metabolization of pollutants on sample properties and by a chapter dedicated to data quality in environmental analysis. Part on sampling and fundamental techniques of sample processing follows. Analytical chemistry of groups of common organic pollutants (PAHs, PCBs, OCPs, PCDDs/PCDFs, chlorophenols) is discussed afterwards in detail.
