Cíle předmětu

This course provides a discussion-based forum to study current topics in environmental chemistry, intended for science students or those with a background in environmental and health research . This course will highlight current issues in environmental chemistry, covering major categories and types of pollutants, and examples of ways in which data on environmental pollutants is used by selecting recent environmental chemistry topics of general interest and researching the underlying scientific issues.

Výstupy z učení

After this course, students should be able to: - have a scientific overview of the major environmental chemistry issues, properties of major pollutants, their sources and occurrence in the environment;
- understand relations between the chemical structure of substances, their physical-chemical properties and their fate in the environment;
- understand the link between environmental pollution and regulatory/policy issues;
- understand the importance of chemical pollution to global environmental challenges (e.g. climate change, biodiversity loss)
- critically evaluate literature describing environmental chemistry issues

Osnova

• The course is taught weekly using a hybrid of lecture and discussion based format. Specific topics will be identified at the start of the semester, selected from the most relevant and timely environmental chemistry issues. Students will gain experience in critically reading both news and scientific literature, strategies for researching environmental science topics, and gain a scientific overview of the major environmental chemistry issues (for example, but not limited to, PFAS, microplastics, waste disposal).

Výukové metody

Education is given in weekly lecture/discussion hybrid format. Active participation from students is expected. Each week, a new topic is introduced, and students participate in the discussion, identification of key issues, and selection of topics for further research.

Metody hodnocení

Students are required to lead the discussion for one research topic, selected based on their interest in consultation with the instructor. Evaluation is based on the background research and presentation of the topic presented by the student, including presentation of topic to class (50% of final grade), and oral examination (50% of final grade).
