Course detail
Laboratory Classes in Environmental Analysis and Sampling
FCH-BC_EAV_PAcad. year: 2021/2022
Tthe preparation of samplers and samplers, through own field sampling to finishing the samples taken before the analysis. In addition to classical water and soil sampling, some passive samplers suitable for water and air sampling will be used for sampling.
Then the students will be acquainted with basic physical and chemical indicators of drinking water quality, assessment of measured parameters with valid legislation (pH, organoleptic properties, basic chemical indicators). An analysis of various types of water - surface water, groundwater, mineral water and waste water will be carried out. Inorganic and organic substances present in water will be determined. Assesment will use the basic instrumental methods and methods of mobile analytics.
