Learning objectives
The course aims to provide the elements for a proper assessment of the risks of human activities on the environment and their effects on human health. In particular, it will be focused on the analysis of a particularly sensitive area such as that of "quality" that is suitable both for in-depth specific implications related to other matrices, such as soil, waste and food and on the effects of environmental air pollutants.
Prerequisites
Students need the knowledge gained from the course Fundamentals of Chemistry and the basic knowledge of Organic Chemistry are required.
Course unit content
The course aims to provide the basic concept for understanding: characterization and origin of the major classes of pollutants, their measurement and their effects on human health; assessment and air quality management; assessment of anthropogenic pressures, inventories and models, and indoor air pollution, with particular reference to the preparation of plans of reorganization effective both from the point of view of health and of statement.

Teaching methods
The course will be held through lectures to Students either in the classroom (“in presenza”) or in synchronous-streaming (“in telepresenza”) on the Teams platform. Therefore, the opportunity of Student/Teacher interaction will be preserved both face to face and remotely, by the simultaneous use of the Teams platform.
Lectures will be supported by slide presentations, which will be available to students on the Elly platform (https://elly2020.medicina.unipr.it).
Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination.
In case of the persistence of the health emergency, the exams will be conducted remotely, as follows:
remote oral questions, through the Teams platform (guide http://selma.unipr.it/).
Students with SLD / BSE must first contact Le Eli-che: support for students with disabilities, D.S.A., B.E.S. (https://sea.unipr.it/it/servizi/le-eli-che-supporto-studenti-con-disabilita-dsa-bes).
