Description:
Work safety regulations. Water and soil sampling. Characterisation of water samples (pH, chemical oxygen demand, phosphates, nitrates, electrolytic conductivity, calcium and magnesium). Characterisation of soil samples (pH, available phosphorus and magnesium, determination of Zn and Ni). Interpretation of study results with regard to current domestic regulations.
Classes outline:
During the first class students will learn about safety regulations in the laboratory and class content. They will be informed about grading criteria, writing a laboratory report and its content. Instructor will clarify all reasonable questions students might have relative to the course objectives. During next classes students will learn about selected physicochemical properties of water and soil. The study results must be compared to current domestic regulations in the final report.
Methods of assessing learning outcomes: evaluating the student's report
