2. Célkitűzések és tanulási eredmények
2.1 Célkitűzések
The aim of the course is to introduce civil engineering students to the typical environmental and public health problems of urbanized areas. It discusses the role of the city in the development of environmental problems, as well as the root causes of the effects on air, soil, water and wildlife caused by the environmental load from the operation of the settlements, and the interventions - mainly civil engineering - to eliminate them.
Students get to know the concepts related to air pollution, highlighting the role of traffic and the formation of odors in sewer networks. Students will learn about the process of contamination of rainwater flowing from the surface of urban areas. Students gain insight into the methods of eliminating typical urban soil pollution and preventing the spread of pollution, as well as the basics of protection against noise, vibration and radiation.

3.4 Az aláírás megszerzésének feltétele, az aláírás érvényessége
It is not possible to obtain a signature in this subject.
3.5 Érdemjegy megállapítása
If the student satisfies the attendance criteria, his/her mark will be determined as follows.
The final grade is calculated based on the written midterm test (MT)
| Grade | Points (P) |
| excellent (5) | 90%<=P |
