General information:

Category	Professional-applicative
Scientific or art field	Environment Protection Engineering
ECTS	10

- To develop knowledge about environmental contamination by organic pollutants; - To introduce the transport, deposition and distribution phenomena of pollutants in environmental media, to the students; - To train students in application of contemporary methods for assessment of the presence, persistence, behavior, fate and long-range transport of pollutants in heterogeneous multicomponent systems.

After completing the course and passing the exam, the student will be able to: - List and describe environmental contamination by organic pollutants; - Understand the processes of transport, deposition and distribution of pollutants in environmental media; - Assess the presence, persistence, behavior, fate and long-range transport of pollutants in heterogeneous multicomponent systems.

Basic characteristics of organic pollutants. The presence of organic pollutants in environmental mediums. Assessment of concentration levels of organic pollutants. Transformation processes of organic pollutants in the environment. General characteristics of pollutants transport within a single environmental medium and between different environmental mediums. Fluxes and the nature of partitioning phenomena in water/air, water/sediment and soil/air systems. Partitioning of organic pollutants between gaseous and solid phase in the atmosphere. Sorption mechanisms - adsorption and absorption. Equilibrium partitioning coefficients. Partitioning modeling of organic pollutants in heterogeneous multicomponent systems of the environment. Multiphase models for predicting persistence and long range transport potential of organic pollutants in the environment.
