TIMEPERIOD: Q III-IV LANGUAGE:English/Swedish EXAMINER Douglas Baxter Univ lekt PREREQUISITES Chemistry AB, 40p 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. TEACHING Item 1: The course is presented in the form of lectures and compulsory laboratory work. Item 2: The teaching consists of lectures and compulsory project presentations. Course participants are expected to actively contribute to discussions during the lectures, give accounts of home exercises and to present, both in written and seminar form, a critical study of a current environmental problem. Attendance at the first lecture is required unless exemption is granted. EXAMINATION Item 1: Approved laboratory reports and approved written examination with differentiated grades. Item 2: Approved study questions and project reports gives a grade 3 result. A written examination with differentiated grades will only be given to students interested in achieving a better result.
