Learning outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

1. Students will learn in this class, dimensions and movement of nanoparticles present in the environment and to determine their impact on the environment and human health. The course will contribute to the determination of the chemical properties of the nanoparticles in the environment, to provide basic knowledge of the participant in the examination of the formation of particles in the environment, and to increase the knowledge of graduate students and to make them more susceptible to work among disciplines,sh text
