Learning outcomes
The aim of the subject is to continue the problems and topics taught in the bachelor's course Fundamentals of Toxicology (ZATO/KZATO). The selected topics are directly linked to the subject, thus the information presented is only deepened. Other topics are new, with the focus on their interpretation focusing on aspects of action within teaching practice. A secondary aim of the course is to link the fundamentals of chemical, biological and toxicological thinking with population protection issues. The drug problem is also discussed, not only from the point of view of toxicology, but also from the perspective of crime prevention in educational institutions and the didactics of the implementation of this problem. At the end of the subject, attention is focused on topics related to the application practice, which have the most significant impact on the health of primary and secondary school students.

Prerequisites
Completion of undergraduate subjects is recommended, especially subjects dealing with the population protection, toxicology and subjects dealing with weapons of mass destruction.

Assessment methods and criteria
unspecified
To complete the subject, activity during the seminar, and the elaboration of a seminar paper in the specified term is required, if its elaboration is required. The credit will be realized in the form of a test in the MOODLE system. When the required number of correct answers (80 %) is reached, the test will be evaluated as successful and according to the points achieved, a mark will be awarded, which will correspond to the mark at the exam. If the evaluation is below the limit of 80 %, an oral exam will be passed after prior agreement with the teacher. This will consist of an oral answer to one question with three sub-questions.
