learning outcomes
The acquired knowledge and skills, as well as the skills acquired during the study of the subject, will be applied in their subsequent practice, when solving issues of prevention, rescue, protection and liquidation in CBRN incidents, when the lives and health of the population as well as rescuers are threatened. In addition to damage to people, damage to fauna and flora is damaged in CBRN incidents as well as damage or deterioration to destruction of property. Knowledge will be applied in particular when solving issues of detection, identification and monitoring of dangerous substances, protection against CBRN substances and their fast and safe decontamination. Prerequisites and co-requisites knowledge of the subject is a prerequisite for understanding and mastering follow-up special subjects.
