CBM 541E - Envir.Risk Asses.for Haz. Mat.

Course Objectives

By this course, contemporary environmental engineering students are educated who;
1. are able to define and designate to control the all factors covering environmental risk, hazard and pollution base for TMs and their derivatives.
2. are able to assess TMs with a systematic approach including clasification, to determine the hazard and risk criteria and environmental fate.
3. are able to prepare an emergency action plan including prevention, cobatting and remediation facilities according to risk assessment of HMs.
4. are able to use these informations based on self confidence, creativity and ethical responsibilities.
