  Description
Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms - Practices through ICT in computer labs - In these practices, the processing of concentration data of pollutants, their representation, and the discussion of the results obtained will be carried out. Additionally, the student will learn to handle tools for the global study of pollution.
Laboratory practicals - Laboratory practices - In the laboratory practices, different pollutant measurement instruments will be explored.
Lecture - Master session / Lecture session - Contents will be presented to the students. The presentations used by the professor in class will be provided to the students.
