Knowledge and understanding: At the end of the course students must demonstrate knowledge of the fundamental principles of ecosystem functioning, environmental chemistry and the effect of the main inorganic and organic pollutants. They must also know the methodologies for measuring the presence of pollutants, and the related regulations, with a strong emphasis on authorization and environmental assessment procedures.
Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: At the end of the course the student must be able to apply the acquired knowledge to study the most relevant issues related to human impacts on the environment.
Making judgements: At the end of the course the student must be able to autonomously judge the extent of an environmental problem, propose possible solutions, and relative methods of action.
Communication skills: knowing how to interact with industry professionals and stakeholders.

None

The course addresses - in four modules - the main issues relating to the environment and the prevention of human impacts.
Basic notions of general ecology are given, with particular focus on the concepts of species, population, community, and their biotic and abiotic interactions in the ecosystems. Particular relevance is given to the cycles of matter and energy, and to the role of biodiversity in maintaining ecosystem services. The themes of resource exploitation and sustainable development are also dealt with.
As far as environmental chemistry is concerned, the focus is on environmental compartments and biogeochemical cycles. Atmospheric chemistry is also introduced, detailing the main types of air pollution and pollutants. An emphasis is also given on persistent organic pollutants.
An important focus is given to the regulations on air quality and pollutants, and to the monitoring of air pollution, especially in the region Friuli Venezia Giulia. The issue of monitoring industrial emissions is also dealt with.
Furthermore, topics such as Strategic Environmental Assessment (VAS), Environmental Impact Assessment (VIA) and Ecological Impact Assessment are dealt with. The Single Regional Authorization Provision and the Integrated Environmental Authorization are also analysed.

Slide show, discussion of real workplaces condition, group work. Any changes to the procedures described here, which may become necessary to ensure the application of safety protocols related to possible emergency situations, will be communicated on the website of the Department, the Degree Program, and the course.

The final test exam consists of a written and an oral examination. The paper provides for the resolution of cases similar to those addressed during the lessons and aims to verify the knowledge and understanding of what is done in the classroom and the ability to apply knowledge to specific contexts. The oral will consist in the discussion of the written paper and in some questions regarding the theoretical aspects of the course and will aim to verify the theoretical knowledge of the discipline, the autonomy of judgment and the communication skills of students/ students.
