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 Prerequisites
basic chemistry inorganic and organic
Teaching Methods
The course is organized lectures.
Assessment Methods
The exam will be in written form, with open answers, to 10 questions that cover the entire program of the course. The adequacy and completeness of the answer will be the indicators to assess the student's degree of learning and the relative attribution of the exam score.
Texts
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. Material for exam preparation will be provided as slides or notes. Recommended texts
Clean chemistry Hermann Fischer Ed. New Techniques
