Course description
Identify the problems arising from air pollution (micro- and macro-ecological) and noise pollution generated by industry, and the levels of pollutants harmful to people and property, estimating the concentration of a given pollutant in a given atmosphere, and use analysis procedures and control techniques for polluting emissions generated by industrial activity in line with current legislation.
