basic chemistry inorganic and organic
Learning outcomes
The course aims to learn the chemical-environmental processes to understand anthropological interferences, chemical-environmental equilibria and the ability to self-purify environmental matrices. Furthermore, knowledge of environmental chemistry explains the various interferences with cultural heritage and its conservation.
Course contents
Water: water distribution in the hydrosphere Water classification Lentiche Lotiche Transitional-marine water Chemical characteristics Relations between BOD-COD-TOC Water quality according to use Water pollution.
. Soil: formation-pedogenic processes Main chemical properties of the soil and their measurement Atmospheric inputs Self-purifying capacity Treatment and recovery of polluted soils.
Teaching methods
The course is organized lectures. In the second year, at the end of the lectures, a visit to the Synlab A & S Industrial Hygiene Laboratory (Mer) is scheduled to examine the analytical techniques and the equipment used for environmental analyzes.
