Number of credits: 4
Semester: winter term
Lecturer: prof. Ing. Jozef Augustín, DrSc.
ECTS course: Ochrana životného prostredia I/ GLOBAL PROBLEMS
OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION I
Annotation: The aim of the course is to introduce the students with basic principles
characterised the state
of environment and its protection on the basis of physico-chemical processes in atmosphere,
hydrosphere and pedosphere. The accent is oriented to dispersion contaminants (especially
heavy metals and radionuclides) in atmosphere and in hydrosphere, as well as to evaluation
of risk characteristics of compounds and to characterisation of analysis and monitoring
of environment approaches.

ECTS course: Jadrová chémia/ NUCLEAR CHEMISTRY
Annotation: The course deals with chemistry of natural and artificial radioisotopes, stabile
isotopes as well as with chemical effects of nuclear radiation, nuclear reactions and chemical
problems
in connection with nuclear reactors. Also, the course will be informing with isotopes
