Learning objectives


Considering that these professionals are also figures in charge of environmental monitoring and protection, the aim of the course is to provide a thorough preparation with respect to the main environmental problems they will have to confront with. In particular they must acquire the ability to process the information deriving from the control systems in place (water and air quality monitoring) and to define the validity of the prevention interventions applied or to modify them if they are not effective.

Course unit content


The course consists of a detailed study of issues related to environmental hygiene partly addressed in previous years. Considering the three environmental compartments (air, soil and water), the aspects relating to their pollution and the prevention and / or recovery measures to be implemented for their protection will be examined in depth, also in light of the current eco-friendly development policies. The course will also use seminars in collaboration with professionals from the various sectors and possibly guided tours. Finally, the public structures responsible for environmental hygiene management, their functions and the relative areas of competence will be described.
