Training Details
Environmental Chemistry
Environmental chemistry is a branch of chemistry that deals with the origins, movement, reactions, and effects of chemicals in the air, water, earth and living environments. It focuses particularly on the influence of human activities on chemicals in our world. This training course is designed for Environmental Professionals and all employees. In this course you will develop a solid knowledge of environmental chemistry and its applications on a global scale, including how ecosystems are affected by industry, urbanization, and agricultural processes.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of the 5-days course is to help participants to: Learn basic chemistry. Understand the significance of contaminants. Recognize air pollution and its causes. Understand the importance of water and recognize water pollution. Understand multiple roles of soil. Understand how to contain, reduce or eliminate contaminants. Investigate sampling and testing techniques. Understand goals of green chemistry. Understand biochemical processes and their importance.
