2. Célkitűzések és tanulási eredmények
2.1 Célkitűzések
The students are getting familiar with the pollution sources that endanger the environment, hamper engineering works and understand the mitigation methods. The subject provides in-formation on the transport mechanism of pollutants in subsurface area and the conditions that influence their dispersion. The studied topics include the legal regulation of environmental geological surveys and the geological constrains of environmental impact assessment of exist-ing and planned engineering structures. By studying remediation techniques the course leads a better understanding of various methods of pollutant removal from the geological environ-ment. Special focus area is mining related pollution and site remediation. Waste disposal and pollution control also form important parts of the course. The exercise classes help students to learn environmental geological practice that helps in the sustainable operation and design of engineering structures. The course provides perspectives in environmental pollution reduction and in cost effective mitigation of polluted sites.
