3. Godymchuk Anna Yurievna, PhD in Engineering Science, Associate Professor of the Materials Science Department of Tomsk Polytechnic University, Tomsk, Russia, author/co-author of more than 200 publications, developer of author's courses "Nanomaterials and the environment: application and risk evaluation" for Master's Degree Students, author of the textbook "Ecology of Nanomaterials" (2012), editor of more than 15 special issues in scientific journals on chemistry and materials science.
The purpose of the program: to familiarize students with the sources, behavior and potential toxicity of nanomaterials in the environment for the protection of nanotechnology production personnel.
Learning outcomes:
• classification nanomaterials according to their properties, composition and purpose;
• knowledge of the main sources of formation of micro- and nanoparticles in the environment, including production, development and application;
• usage of diffraction, spectroscopic, chromatographic and microscopic methods to study the physical and physico-chemical properties of micro- and nanoparticles in the hydrosphere, lithosphere and biosphere;
• knowledge of the real and potential migration routes of nanoparticles in the environment and the biological effects of the interaction of micro- and nanoparticles;
• predicting the behavior of micro- and nanoparticles when they enter the human body and the environment and organize the workplace with the use of basic personal protective equipment of personnel.
Form of study: distance learning
Duration of training: 72 hours.
