The main content of the course involves; water sources effected by polluted soils, characterization of soil and water systems, local pollution and regional pollution, source apportionment of pollutants and their characterizations, metals and toxic chemicals in soil, according to laws and directives Course Contents : This course deals with different aspects of soil pollution with the aim of acquiring an understanding of these complex subjects. First, the international and national legislation dealing with contaminated soil is discussed. Secondly, the behaviour in the soil and the transport to the groundwater and the atmosphere for different pollutant types are studied. Finally, the principle of risk based analysis is explained and an overview of the different remediation techniques are given.
