|
Thursday, Jul. 6, 2023 10:00 - The 2nd meeting room, 4th floor, Main building of United Graduate School of Agricultural Science, TUAT This course will provide up-to-date information on the state of contamination of trace elements, including heavy metals, their use by humans, and the resulting events in ecosystems. Based on this information, specific examples of environmental pollution by heavy metals and the "adaptation" of organisms will be presented to provide hints for considering how to deal with heavy metals in the future. |
| Expected Learning |
|
Understanding the nature of heavy metals as pollutants and their use by humans as a cause of pollution. Understanding of aspects of heavy metals as essential elements. Understanding the ecological pollution caused by heavy metals and the current state of "adaptation" of wildlife. Based on the above understanding, begin to consider sustainable options for solving heavy metal pollution and conserving wildlife. |
| Course schedule |
|
The following topics will be lectured on 1. Aspects of heavy metals as pollutants and the history and current status of their use by mankind 2. Aspects of heavy metals as essential elements and the case for their adaptation by wildlife 3. The actual contamination of wildlife by heavy metals and the actual "adaptation" that is occurring 4. Some cases of how far we can get closer to the "mystery" of wildlife by using heavy metals as chemical tracers |
| Prerequisites |
| Reference books will be provided for self-study before and after the lecture. |
