1. Basic toxicology terms (xenobiotics, exposition, dose, effect, latency period, effects of extraneuous substances on the living organism, toxicokinetics). 2. Toxicology of selected hazardous inorganic substances (elements of main sub-groups and their compounds). 3. Toxicology of selected hazardous inorganic substances (elements of subgroups and their compounds). 4. Toxicology of selected organic compounds. 5. Experimental toxicology (toxicity evaluation, testing of acute, subacute, subchronic and chronic toxicity, assessing of the exposure level, epidemiological studies). 6. Addictive and psychotropic substances. 7. Toxicity of organic and inorganic pollutants in waters. 8. Processes of water purification, water treatment, toxicity of sediments of the cleaning plants. 9. Environmental pollution - toxicity of aerosols, solid and gas pollutants of the emissions. 10. Waste classification. 11. Waste incineration. 12. Waste storing, stabilization/solidification. 13. Physical pollution of the environment, protection against noise and radiation. 14. Managerial and law regulations in the environmental protection.
