Educational and
professional goals:

To be aware of the requirements in sampling of environmental materials according to the standards. To be skilful in designing the analytical scheme of the environmental samples monitoring; to select appropriate chemical measurements procedure (fit-for purpose) according to validation data; to be skilful to evaluate the analytical results and compare with respective norms.

Course description:

On-field sampling of soil and water. Samples preparation: drying, lyophylization, sieving, extraction of various chemical forms, total digestion, dilution. Selection of the proper analytical procedure according to the sample type and expected concentration of analyte. Evaluation of the uncertainty for the results and comparison of the results. Determination of various ion by ion-chromatography; determination of pH of the environmental samples; determination of Fe by UV-Vis spectrometry; determination of Fe by flame AAS; determination of Ca and Pb by GFAAS.
Evaluation of the quality of analytical results.

Required background:

Analytical chemistry; statistic and chemometric; metrology in chemistry.
