Educational objectives: The course introduces and deepens the concepts and the main experimental approaches
on the chemical aspects of environmental monitoring.


Expected Learning Outcomes:
1) Knowledge and understanding: Knowledge of the main instrumental methods for
the qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis of the organic and inorganic substances present
in the environment. The knowledge will concern in particular the chemical monitoring of waters e
of the land;
2) Applied knowledge and understanding: In addition to theoretical knowledge
acquired through the study of chemical analysis methods, students will be able to apply
the main concepts studied in the analysis of samples during the course of exercises
applicative character, taken from real situations;
3) Making judgments: The course offers connections with other disciplines of the Degree course in
Environmental Biological Sciences (including physics, general chemistry, and organic chemistry) providing
an integrated knowledge for understanding the methodological aspects of monitoring
environmental chemist. The knowledge and application practice will allow independent judgement
and design skills;
4) Communication skills: knowledge and application practice will also be useful in development
communication skills through the reading and interpretation of the instrumental data obtained;
5) Ability to learn: the ability to learn will be assessed through exercises
concerning the theory and interpretation of instrumental data.
