Pollution Dynamics

About this programme

Fluorochemicals (PFAS) are extensively used for their water- and stain repellency. Photo: Wikimedia Commons In this course, you will learn about “pollutant dynamics”, which is the way pollutants (such as DDT, PFAS and many more) move from emission sources to the tissues of organisms where they can cause toxic effects. You will learn where pollutants come from (their sources and emissions), where pollutants go (their partitioning, transport and reaction processes), and who gets exposed and how (wildlife and human exposure pathways). Instruction consists of lectures, seminars, exercises. The course is offered in English. A passing final grade requires participation in seminars and execises. Assessment takes place through assignments and a written exam.
