Basics of environmental chemistry and toxicology

Description

This subject teaches the physico-chemical processes occurring in the environment, the chemical properties of the atmosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere, as well as the behavior of pollutants in the environment. within the scope of the subject, the basics of toxicology, classification of toxic substances, mechanisms of toxic effects, toxicokinetics and biotransformation processes, ecotoxicological characteristics of industrial pollutants, as well as the effects of radioactive substances and safety principles are analyzed.
