Key words ENVIRONMENT – ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES
Objectives Obtaining insight into quality care and quality guardsystems.
Basic knowledge is provided concerning special techniques as sampling, analysis of water, soil, solid waste, sludge, air in work atmospheres, emission and immission.
Topics Theory:
Norms
Steps prior to the measurement: sampling, conservation, destruction of samples.
Chemical analytical procedures:
water: composition and analysis
soil and sludge; inorganic and organic contaminants and analysis.
air: procedures for examination of inorganic and organic components in workshops, immission, emission. Techniques for continuous monitoring.
Practical exercises:
Water: C.O.D, analysis of chlorides, nitrates, nitrites, ammonia, acid destruction, analysis by means of AAS.
Soil and sludge: analysis of heavy metals via AAS.
Air: determination of nitrogen oxides in air samples.
Prerequisites Treatments and concepts of the chemical modules of the first, second and third bachelor chemistry.

However, if a student gains a score of 7 or less on 20 on one of the different courses (parts of training items), he proves that his skill for certain subcompetencies is insufficient. Consequently, one can turn from the arithmetical calculation of the final assignment of quotas of a training item and the new marks can be awarded on consensus. Of course the examiners can judge that the arithmetic regulations mentioned in the study index card can also be used for 7 or less. For each deviation a detailed motivation ought to be drawn up. In that case one should point out that the skill for this subcompetency is proven to be insufficient, if the student didn’t pass the partim that is considered to be important for certain subcompetencies.
