Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The students describe the different state-of-the-art techniques for the remediation or safeguarding of sites contaminated with environmental pollutants and assess their geo- and hydrochemical processes in a site-specific and problem-oriented manner. They are able to develop a concept for the assessment of an area of suspected contamination and can recall the relevant sampling and analytical techniques. By comparison of measured values with current legislation and threshold values they are able to suggest the necessary measures for safeguarding or decontamination.The course is split into lectures, exercises, problem-oriented presentation of site remediation issues by students and an excursion.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Remediation of inorganic pollutants:
the written exam will reflect on course content (lectures) and on 2 topics presented by the students. These topics will be announced before the exam. The maximum points for the exam are 25, for the presentation are 25.
The presentation evaluation is done according to
1) preparation of the topic (5)
2) use of additional sources and information, also coupling to course content (5)
3) quality of presentation (10)
4) quality and level of the Q&A part of the presentation (5)
Attending students receive evaluation sheets, results will be taken into account
For the student presentations 80% attendance of the students is mandatoryRemediation of organic pollutants (MK & GS & TR). Exercises: directly following the lecture, exercises will aim at applying the concepts discussed during the class. There will be time dedicated to solve the exercise with the support of the lecturers.
Report (TR): The report will be about an excursion to a contaminated site with ongoing remediation measures (attending the excursion is thus compulsory)
