Introducing students of technical profession to the basic principles and laws of chemistry.

After completing the course and passing the exam, the student will be able to: Define and apply fundamental chemical principles and understand great number of chemical processes and reaction phenomena important to the field of Safety and health engineering.

Recommendations to enhance the integration of occupational safety with green chemistry. Types and characterization of organic compounds. Chemistry of organic reactions. Classification of organic pollutants. Toxicology of organic compounds. Coordination compounds. Basic principles of analytic chemistry. Qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis. Elements of the main group of the periodic table, compounds and chemical reactions: hydrogen, IA and IIA group; IIIA and IVA group; VA and VIA group; VIIA group. Elements of the sub-groups: IB (Cu, Ag, Au), IIB (Zn, Cd, Hg), VIB (Cr, Mo, W) and VIIB (Mn) and elements of the Fe triad: Fe, Co, Ni. Types of harmful effects of the chemical substances. Direct effects of the toxic organic and inorganic compounds. Indirect effects of the toxic organic and inorganic compounds. Flammability and explosiveness of organic and inorganic compounds. Explosive atmosphere.

Lectures. Laboratory and Computing Practice. Consultations – individual and group. During the semester, students are required to attend lectures, laboratory and computing classes. After successfully realized examination prerequisites, students take the final exam in written (computing part) and oral form (theoretical part).
