COURSE AIM
Item 1: The course will provide basic knowledge in analytical chemistry as applied to industrial processes. The course will also provide an understanding of statistics and error analysis
relevant to analytical chemistry.
Item 2: The course will provide basic knowledge in chemistry applicable tp proctical environmental analysis and necessary to understand how anthropogenic activity affects the environment and it's life cycles.

CONTENTS
Item 1: Spectroscopic methods
Chromatographic methods
Electrochemical methods
Measurement data processing
Item 2:
The course is divided into three main parts:
- The atmosphere
- The hydrosphere
- The biosphere
In the first part, atmospheric chemistry and the effects of anthropogenic
emissions on the global climate and air quality is discussed.
Pollution of the worlds' water resources is treated in the second part, as
well as water chemistry and uses.
The effects of organic compounds and heavy metals are sudied in part three,
together with the application of chemical products in modern society.
