Environmental Chemistry

The aim of the course is to provide the fundamental knowledge concerning the chemical-physical characteristics of the three matrices air, water and soil as well as knowledge inherent to the main environmental pollutants present. Finally, another objective is to illustrate possible methods of cleaning up pollution, also clarifying the policies to be implemented for environmental protection and sustainability.

At the end of the learning process the student will have to acquire knowledge concerning the chemical-physical characteristics of the three environmental matrices (air, water and soil) and the mechanisms of interaction between them.
