Course content
У програмі дисципліни основна увага приділяється розгляду сучасних міжнародних стандартів моніторингу довкілля за системами US EPA (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) та ESSA (Environmental Science Services Administration). Особлива увага приділяється вмінням практичного використання теоретичних знань і практичних навичок з різних видів аналітичної, неорганічної та органічної хімії та фізико-хімічних методів дослідження пріоритетних забруднюючих речовин природного та антропогенного походження. Розглядаються сучасні нормативні документи міжнародних агенцій з контроля та моніторингу за довкіллям. Під час проходження курсу студенти проходять лабораторний курс, який є невід’ємним доповненням до опанування практичними знаннями і проводять дослідження води, рослинного матеріалу та різних об’єктів природного середовища за міжнародними стандартами.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures with the use of computer technology, laboratory course, seminars and independent work
Assessment methods and criteria
Semester control includes modular tests (written), homework, oral presentations, presentations and defense of laboratory work. The evaluation is based on a 100-point system. Maximum / minimum number of points that can be obtained by a student for a semester grade of 60 points / 36 points. The final assessment is conducted in the form of a written exam. The maximum / minimum number of points that can be obtained by a student in the exam is 40 points / 24 points.
