TECNOLOGIE PER LA PROTEZIONE AMBIENTALE
Academic Year 2018/2019 - 3° Year - Curriculum Tossicologia dell'Ambiente e degli AlimentiCredit Value: 6
Scientific field: CHIM/12 - Chemistry for the environment and for cultural heritage
Taught classes: 42 hours
Term / Semester: 1°
Learning Objectives
Educational objectives: The course aims to provide students with the technologies for environmental protection, in particular the use of sull'evitamento pestici, using the quantum agriculture and biodynamic agriculture. Furthermore, the technologies for the protection of the environment by using alternative fuels, recycling of industrial and domestic waste and purification of waste water.
Course Structure
the lesson is in the form of lectures and since this year I have been teaching in interactive mode acting as a facilitator of the comparison and discussions with and among the students.
