ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): 2.00 OR 4.00 (depends on study program) Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.

Short description:

Environmental chemistry describes the chemical and biochemical processes occurring on the Earth. It is connected with the atmosphere, hydrosphere and terrestrial environment and relationships between them. It also deals with changes occurring in the nature under the influence of anthropogenic nature.

Full description:

Environmental chemistry covers issues relating to chemical and biochemical processes occurring in nature. It deals with the processes occurring on the surface of the Earth and near – in the atmosphere, hydrosphere and terrestrial environment.

Full description of the global environment requires knowledge of the following components:

- composition and chemical structure of the main elements of the environment,

- physicochemical and chemical processes occurring on Earth,

- changes occurring in nature under the influence of impurities and phenomena caused by anthropogenic factors.

It also deals with the relationship between these elements.

The purpose of dealing with environmental chemistry is to provide a cleaner and healthier environment.
