The goal		The overall goal of the course is to provide students with the basic knowledge of common food contaminants, their origin, physical and chemical properties, harmful effects, risk assessment and analytical methods used for their detection.
The outcome		The students should gain theoretical knowledge about origin, properties, effects and methods for detection of common food contaminants and practical laboratory skills regarding their analysis; they should develop the capacity to understand the analytical problem and choose proper method for solving it; they should master sampling, sample preparation and analysis techniques; through written and oral seminar presentation they should expand the communication skills.
