    Information

    Aims, contents and method of the course

    Students will learn key factors that control the environmental fate of organic pollutants. We will discuss the concepts of phase transfer and chemical transformation. Key classes of organic pollutants, as well as their sources, hazards, and predominant sinks will be discussed. Students will learn to describe the substance specific behavior of relevant organic pollutants and selected analytical techniques to investigate the fate of organic pollutants in the environment. The course will be a mix of lectures, self-study, exercises, and student presentations.

    Assessment and permitted materials

    A maximum of 60 points can be reached in three individual assessments: 1) exam (will tentatively take place on 13.06.2025, 15 points), 2) exercise sets (due dates will be announced, 30 points), 3) student presentations (will tentatively take place on 06.06.2025 and 12.06.2025, 15 points). Exam will not be repeated (PI) since it is not mandatory to pass the course.

    Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

    Students know key factors that control the environmental fate of organic pollutants. Students are familiar with the concepts of phase transfer and chemical transformation. Students can name key classes of organic pollutants, as well as their sources, hazards, and predominant sinks. Students can describe the substance specific behavior of relevant organic pollutants and selected analytical techniques to investigate the fate of organic pollutants in the environment.

    A maximum of 60 points can be reached. The following grading scheme will be applied:
    > 87% (1); 75-87 % (2); 63-74 % (3); 50-62 % (4); < 50 % (5)

    Examination topics

    Lectures, exercises, presentations by students
