Course contents This course provides an advanced exploration of the behavior, fate, and effects of chemical substances within the biosphere. The programme integrates regulatory frameworks with scientific modeling and decision-making tools to address the complex challenges of chemical safety in both environmental and industrial contexts. The curriculum begins with an introduction to current environmental regulations and classification methodologies, including the REACH and CLP frameworks for managing toxic chemicals. Students will investigate the physical and chemical properties of substances, focusing on partition coefficients, degradation parameters, and ecotoxicological indicators essential for ecological risk assessment. Advanced modules cover chemical property estimation through the [...]
