The contents of this subject connect with the following Sustainable Development Goals: SDG3 (Goal 3.9. Substantially reduce the number of deaths and illnesses from hazardous chemicals and air, water and soil pollution and contamination), SDG6 (Goal 6.3. Improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimizing release of hazardous chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse globally), SDG11 (Goal 11.6. Reduce the adverse per capita environmental impact of cities, including by paying special attention to air quality and municipal and other waste management), SDG12 (Goal 12.4. Achieve the environmentally sound management of chemicals and all wastes throughout their life cycle, in accordance with agreed international frameworks, and significantly reduce their release to air, water and soil in order to minimize their adverse impacts on human health and the environment), and SDG13 (Goal 13.3. Improve education, awareness-raising and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning)

Teaching will consist of lectures on the one hand, in which the theoretical content of the course with emphasis on current applications and case studies will be developed. On the other hand 4 laboratory experiments will be performed, two of them devoted to the chemistry of the atmosphere and the other two to the chemistry of the hydrosphere. The teaching methodology will be complemented with talks by students on subjects related with the course.

Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support

Attitude, continued attendance and participation in practical sessions will evaluate the B10 competence

The mastery of the theoretical / practical concepts of the subject will evaluate the C8 competence

Autonomous learning, group work and oral presentation will evaluate the B8 and Q5 competences

The attitude, interest and skill in the realization of practices will evaluate the P5 competence.

In order to pass the course alumni must attend to all lab sessions

Data Protection Delegate: dpo@ujaen.es

Purpose: In accordance with the Universities Law and other national and regional regulations in force, carrying out exams and assessment tests corresponding to the courses students are registered in. In order to avoid frauds while sitting the exam, the exam will be answered using a videoconference system, being able the academic staff of the University of Jaén to compare and contrast the image of the person who is answering the exam with the student's photographic files. Likewise, in order to provide the exam with evidential content for revisions or claims, in accordance with current regulation frameworks, the exam will be recorded and stored.

Legitimacy: compliance with legal obligations (Universities Law) and other national and regional regulations currently in force.

Addressees: service providers who are the owners of the platforms where the exams are carried out and with whom the University of Jaén has signed the corresponding data access contracts.

Storage periods: those established in current in force regulations. In the specific case of exam videoconference recordings, not before the examination records and transcripts are closed or the exam can still be reviewed or challenged.

Rights: you can exercise your right of access, amendment, cancellation, opposition, suppression, limitation and portability by sending a letter to the postal or electronic address indicated above. In the event that you consider that your rights have been violated, you may submit a complaint to the Andalusian Council for Transparency and Data Protection www.ctpdandalucia.es
