Learning outcomes
|
Students will learn about possible environmental and health risks of nanomaterials in relation with their production, exploitation and removal and also about various antropogenic effects which are generated by nanomaterials. We will define the most imporant parameters of various types of nanomaterials, which may induce their hazardous properties with respect to living organisms and environment, types of exposition and fate of nanomaterials in particular fields of environment. The attention will be devoted to current legistative in relation to nanotechnologies, protection of environment and public health.
Knowledge Define the main ideas and conceptions of the subject, describe the main approaches of the studied topics, recall the theoretical knowledge for solution of model problems.
