The aim of this course is introducing candidates with problems and problem solving in the field of environmental protection by appropriate scientific methods; subject is designed as an introductory course in the field of environmental engineering at the level of doctoral studies; subject focuses on key points such as efficient and harmless systems for the environment, exploitation and conversion of energy sources, transportation and distribution, and use of final energy demand by end users in all sectors of production and consumption.

At the end of the course it is expected that the candidate has mastered the basic knowledge related to the analysis and evaluation of scientific papers, the basis of laboratory work, and on the basis of the process of dispersion modeling of pollutants in the environment.

Introduction. Multidisciplinary of environmental protection. Process engineering and environmental protection. The effects of air, soil and water pollution, emissions, immissions. General legal basis for environmental protection and the basics of making norms. Possible sources of risk, risk and pollution levels, measuring the concentration of pollutants. Apropriate measures for living and working environmental protection. Technical standards, modalities of solving or planning. The design and operation of facilities, possibilities and use of low-polluting analogy from the standpoint of rational use of energy of materials and natural resources, equipment for air, fuel and water cleaning, classification and characteristics of the protection methods, application and properties of materials for construction of environmental protection equipment. Sources and types of solid, liquid and gaseous wastes, processes and waste treatment plants.

Laboratory work if needed; writing scientific papers etc.

There is no previous requirements for attending this course.

Laboratory installation and measuring equipment if needed; numerous literature and access to numerous international databases.
