Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire
At the end of the course the student will be aware of the central role of sustainability perspective for the protection and the management of environment. The student will know the relationship between physico-chemical features of substances, their transformation in the environment and their environmental impact. She/he will become aware of the peculiar environmental impact posed by plastic materials. The student is expected to be able to: 1. predict and assess the environmental fate and the modalities of transformation of chemicals; 2. propose and implement methodologies to reduce and remediate the chemical pollution; 3. propose solutions to prevent and reduce pollution from plastic materials.
Contenuti
The course will deal with the relationship between plastics and the environment.
1) The main characteristics of polymers/plastics and their history will be presented, together with the main processes for recycling
2) Some representative examples of bio-based and biodegradable polymers will be explained (starch, polylactic acid, polyhydroxyalkanoates).The differences between bio-based polymers and biodegradable polymers will be examined
3) The environmental fate of plastic materials will be analyzed according to various environmental spheres (water bodies, oceans, soil and sediments, biota)
4) The adverse effects of plastic materials will be presented, analyzing the existing knowledge about the toxicity towards different biological endpointsTesti/Bibliografia
Scientific literature: reviews and papers
