TFMJ14	Environmental Science and Technology, 7,5 ECTS-points /Miljöteknik/ Advancement level: B
	Aim: The course is a combination of the two courses Environmental Technology, TFMJ 02 and Environmental Science, TFMJ 03. Part 1: The student shall gain an understanding of the environmental impact from large technical systems for transport, energy, and water handling. A holistic view of the environmental issues is applied as including both resource and pollution problems. Further, the student shall be accustomed to ways of decreasing environmental impact by means of technical solutions. Preventive measures are emphasized as well as changes in the technical systems for a development in a direction towards sustainability. Part 2: the objective is to provide a basic understanding of ecology (on land and in water) and the functions in the atmosphere. Discussions are held concerning the complexity and origin of environmental problems, especially pollution problems connected to water quality and land use. A comprehensive view of products (environment, resource and energy) is central. Different aspects on environmental protection, management and legislation are presented. Prerequisites: High school chemistry. Supplementary courses: TFMJ 04 Environmental Measurement Technology TFMJ 05 Environmentally Sustainable Materials TFMJ 06 Environmental Management Strategies TFMJ 07 Life Cycle Assessment and Ecodesign TFMJ 08 Environmental Impact Assessment Course organization: The course includes lectures, 3 excursions á 8 hours, educational visits and assignments Course content: The same as TFMJ 02 and TFMJ 03 Course literature: Part 1: Literature will be adviced at course start. Part 2: Kompendium i miljövård del 4, Miljöeffekter, KTH.
