      The goalGaining knowledge about the origin pedosphere, the basic characteristics of soil and its importance as part of the environment. Introduction to the properties of the pollutants that are likely to be present in the soil, sources, behavior, distribution and migration. Students should familiarize themselves with the test methods and the characterization of contaminated sites, as well as the technological processes of remediation of contaminated soil on site (in situ) and out of contaminated sites (ex situ).
      The outcomeUnderstanding the importance of land in the cycle of circulation, so nutrients and pollutants, with special emphasis on preventing and avoiding pollution of this part of the environment. Capability for monitoring soil quality, behavior analysis of pollutants, risk assessment and selection of the best methods for remediation of contaminated soil.
      Contents
      Contents of lecturesPhysico-chemical principles (structure of soil colloidal systems, the influence of structure on the properties of the soil), the characteristics of soil pollutants (types, sources, behavior); legislation, methods of sampling and monitoring, monitoring of land, testing the contaminated area; remediation of soil (biological, physical and chemical methods).
      Contents of exercisesDetermination of soil properties, determination of total content of heavy metals in urban and agricultural land, the determination of heavy metals by sequential extraction, remediation of selected samples in the laboratory.
