Upon successful completion of this course the students will acquire new knowledge and specific skills on the following subjects:

• Analysis of atmospheric pollutants and their origin.  
• Understanding of the mechanisms of atmospheric pollution. 
• Understanding of pollutants’ behavior.
• Understanding of the importance of novel, alternative clean technologies for energy and chemicals production.

Skills:

• Will be capable to choose the appropriate technologies and their correct combination to encounter complex polluting emissions.
• Will be capable to design new processes/projects for polluting emissions control.

• Review, analyze and synthesize data and information, with the use of necessary Technologies.
• Work autonomously.
• Protect natural environment.
• Design and manage projects.
• Develop new research ideas.
