General description

Soil contamination or soil pollution is caused by the presence of human-made chemical or other alteration in the natural soil environmental.Knowledge of the behaviour in soil and their effects on organisms (human beings, plants, soil biota) is required in order to assess soil quality and to select proper soil remediation methods in case of severe pollution. The field of applications is not limited to soil but includes sediments and solid wastes.The course focuses on soil risk assessment and the basic knowledge necessary to be able to apply a risk assessment procedure to polluted soil sites. Basic knowledge comprises compound behaviour in soils (speciation, transport, uptake) and effects on soil organisms (bioavailability, uptake, dose-response relationships, risk assessment).Speciation focuses on adsorption to soil particles and on complexation reactions: mechanism and modelling, especially of heavy metals with organic matter.Consideration of soil pollution in mine waste management and reclamation of mining areas.Mining: the risk is often associated with storage or disposal of tailings, acid mine drainage and the use of certain chemical reagents.Pollution of groundwater is often associated with these processes.

C1	CMECES1 That students have demonstrated possession and understanding of knowledge in an area of study that is based on general secondary education, and is usually found at a level that, although supported by advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the cutting edge of their field of study
C2	CMECES2 That students know how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and possess the skills that are usually demonstrated through the development and defense of arguments and the resolution of problems within their area of study.
C3	CMECES3 That students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (normally within their area of study) to make judgments that include reflection on relevant issues of a social, scientific or ethical nature.
C4	CMECES4 That students can transmit information, ideas, problems and solutions to both a specialised and non-specialised audience
C5	CMECES5 That students have developed those learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy
