| Aims | : One of the fundamental aspects of the quality of life is its connection to the quality of the environment. Spatial and timeline distribution and density of plant and animal species are functionally connected to the external factors and changes in the ecosystems. The aim of this subject is to transmit basic knowledge on pollution of the biosphere, methods and monitoring of environmental quality, bioindicators and bio indicator organisms. |
| Learning outcomes | Bioindicators and monitoring system (semester VI ECTS 6, 3 + 2) After passing this exam, students will be able to: o knows the methods for evaluation and monitoring of environmental quality, o define bioindicators, bioindication and stress, o to know about the sources of atmospheric pollution, the effects of pollutants from the atmosphere on the flora, fauna and human health, o define bioindicators of air pollution, o explain ways of monitoring and control of air pollution, o describe the sources of pollution of land and change its properties, o explain biomonitoring of polluted land, o defines the hydrosphere, sources of pollution of the hydrosphere, o to understand the impact of physical / thermal, chemical and biological contamination of aquatic ecosystems, o to know the processes related to natural and artificial aging LAKES eutrophication, trophic zones, o understand the processes related to the pollution of aquatic ecosystems, saprobity, o define bioindicators of water pollution, o understand fusing self-purification of water / autopurification, o to know to explain water monitoring. |
