	Objectives
	THE AIMS OF THE TEACHING ARE SET IN THE DEGREE COURSE WHICH PROVIDES THE TRAINING OF A PROFESSIONAL CAPABLE OF OPERATING IN THE FIELD OF PREVENTING ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS AND SAFEGUARDING ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES. THE TEACHING IS FUNDAMENTALLY BASED ON THE ACQUISITION OF THE KNOWLEDGE TOOLS OF ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE MAIN POLLUTANTS PRESENT IN NATURAL AND ANTROPICATED ENVIRONMENTS. THIS THEACHING HAS THE OBJECTIVE OF CONTRIBUTING TO FORM A PROFESSIONAL FIGURE THAT IS ABLE TO IDENTIFY AND ASSESS THE POLLUTANTS PRESENT IN WATER, AIR AND SOILS, AS WELL AS BE ABLE TO USE ANALYTICAL TOOLS TO OPERATE IN AN ANALYSIS LABORATORY ENVIRONMENTAL OR QUALITY CONTROL. WITH REGARD TO KNOWLEDGE THE THEACHING PROVIDES: • THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE OF CLASSICAL AND INSTRUMENTAL ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY. • EXPERIMENTAL KNOWLEDGE USEFUL FOR CONDUCTING CHEMICAL ANALYSIS WITH CLASSICAL, SPECTROSCOPIC AND CHROMATOGRAPHIC METHODS FOR THE QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DETERMINATION OF CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS IN ENVIRONMENTAL MATRICES. • KNOWLEDGE OF THE OPERATION OF THE MAIN ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY INSTRUMENTS. • THE MAIN SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND THE ERRORS RELATED TO THEM. WITH REGARDS TO SKILLS THE THEACHING ENABLES THE STUDENT TO: • ADDRESSING THE PROBLEMS RELATED TO CHEMICAL ANALYSIS IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL FIELD. • PERFORM QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE INSTRUMENTAL ANALYSIS ON DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTAL MATRICES. • EVALUATE THE DATA OBTAINED DURING THE EXERCISES IN ORDER TO GUARANTEE THE QUALITY OF THE ANALYTICAL RESULT. • ASSESS THE IMPACT OF POLLUTANTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND ON HUMAN HEALTH.

	Contents
	THE TEACHING IS DIVIDED INTO TWO MODULES: A MODULE (ANALYTICAL ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMISTRY) OF THEORETICAL CHARACTER (6 CFU, 48 HOURS) AND A MODULE (LABORATORY OF ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY) OF APPLICATION CHARACTER (6 CFU, 60 HOURS). IN THE THEORETICAL MODULE THE BASICS OF ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY ARE DEALED WITH, STARTING FROM THE CONCEPTS OF MASS AND VOLUME AND ARRIVING UP TO THE DESCRIPTION OF THE MOST COMMON ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS. IN PARTICULAR, THE MODULE WILL BE STRUCTURED AS FOLLOWS: - CHEMICAL PHYSICAL BASIS (1 CFU, 8 HOURS): UNITS OF MEASUREMENT AND VALUES IN ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY, SIGNIFICANT FIGURES AND MEASUREMENT ERRORS, CONCEPTS OF MASS, VOLUME, MOLE, CONCENTRATIONS, ETC. - CLASSICAL ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY (2 CFU, 16 HOURS): CHEMICAL ACTIVITY AND CHEMICAL BALANCE, SOLUBILITY AND GRAVIMETRIC ANALYSIS, ACID-BASE TITRATIONS, REDOX TITRATIONS, COMPLEXIMETRIC TITRATIONS, ELECTROCHEMICAL ANALYSIS. - INSTRUMENTAL ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY (2 CFU, 24 HOURS): CONDUCTIVITY, POTENTIOMETRY, INTRODUCTION TO SPECTROSCOPY, ATOMIC ABSORPTION, UV-VIS SPECTROPHOTOMETRY. INTRODUCTION TO CHROMATOGRAPHIC SEPARATIONS, LIQUID COLUMN CHROMATOGRAPHY AND GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY. - APPLICATIONS IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL FIELD (1 CFU, 8 HOURS): CHARACTERIZATION AND SELECTION OF ANALYTICAL METHODS, ANALYSIS OF ENVIRONMENTAL MATRICS, ANALYSIS OF THE MOST COMMON ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINANTS. IN THE LABORATORY MODULE EXERCISES WILL BE DONE IN THE CLASSROOM AND IN THE LABORATORY TO ILLUSTRATE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CONCEPTS LEARNED IN THE THEORETICAL MODULE. IN PARTICULAR, THE MODULE WILL BE STRUCTURED AS FOLLOWS: - CLASSROOM EXERCISES (3 CFU, 24 HOURS): ADVANCED STECHIOMETRY, BALANCING OF REDOX REACTIONS, ACID-BASE REACTIONS, MULTIPLE BALANCES IN SOLUTION. - LABORATORY EXERCISES (3 CFU, 36 HOURS): 8 EXERCISES OF 4 HOURS EACH WITH RELATIVE THEORETICAL EXPLANATIONS IN THE CLASSROOM (2 HOURS): EXERCISES WITH MICROSOFT EXCEL® CALCULATION SHEET, CALCULATION OF A VOLUMETRIC DEVICE, DETERMINATION ACID-BASE WITH INDICATOR (PREPARATION AND STANDARDIZATION OF A NAOH SOLUTION), COMPLEXOMETRIC TITRATION WITH INDICATOR (PREPARATION AND STANDARDIZATION OF AN EDTA SOLUTION - DETERMINATION OF THE HARDNESS OF A WATER SAMPLE), CONDUCTIMETRIC CONDUCTIVITY ANALYSIS (MEASUREMENT OF THE SAMPLES '' WATER, DETERMINATION OF THE CONCENTRATION OF BICARBONATES IN A WATER SAMPLE), POTENTIOMETRIC ANALYSIS (PH MEASUREMENT OF WATER SAMPLES - DETERMINATION OF THE ACIDITY OF A COMMERCIAL VINEGAR THROUGH POTENTIOMETRIC TITRATION / VISPETROMETRIC VISUALIZATION ANALYSIS) OF WASTE WATER - DETERMINATION OF ORTHOPHOSPHATES IN WATER SAMPLES), SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC ANALYSIS HE OF ATOMIC ABSORPTION (DETERMINATION OF METALS IN A SOIL SAMPLE), CHROMATOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS (DETERMINATION OF ANIONS IN A WATER SAMPLE OF A RIVER).

	Teaching Methods
	LECTURES, CLASSROOM EXERCISES AND LABORATORY EXPERIENCES. THE ATTENDANCE OF THE LABORATORY MODULE OF ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY IS COMPULSORY FOR 2/3 OF THE LABORATORY HOURS.

	Verification of learning
	THE EXAM CONSISTS OF A WRITTEN AND AN ORAL TEST. IN THE WRITTEN TEST THE STUDENT WILL HAVE TO SOLVE THE EXERCISES RELATING TO THE PROGRAM CARRIED OUT (REDOX BALANCING, ACID-BASE REACTIONS, CALCULATIONS FOR THE PREPARATION OF SOLUTIONS AND DILUTIONS, DETERMINING THE ENVIRONMENTAL PARAMETERS USING THE EXERCISING LABELS). IN THE WRITTEN TEST IT IS ALLOWED TO CONSULT THE PERIODIC TABLE OF THE ELEMENTS AND USE THE CALCULATOR. THE USE OF THE CALCULATOR FUNCTION ON OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES (EX. MOBILE PHONES OR COMPUTERS) IS FORBIDDEN. DURING THE ORAL EXAM, THE STUDENT WILL SHOW THAT HE UNDERSTANDS THE FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS OF BASIC ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY (MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS) AND THE THEORETICAL FUNDAMENTALS OF ANALYTICAL, CLASSICAL AND INSTRUMENTAL TECHNIQUES AND OF THE ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT IN THE LABORATORY. THE MAXIMUM VOTE (30/30) IS AWARDED WHEN THE STUDENT SHOWS A COMPLETE AND IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE and is able to ESTABLISH CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE TOPICS COVERED. PRAISE MAY BE ATTRIBUTED TO STUDENTS WHO REACH THE MAXIMUM VOTE OF 30/30 AND WHO PROVE TO BE ABLE TO APPLY AUTONOMY KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS ACQUIRED EVEN IN CONTEXTS OTHER THAN THOSE PROPOSED IN THE LESSON
