Introduction: the main environmental problems.
The ecological footprint: sustainable development, ecological footprint and sustainability, reducing and eliminating the use of pesticides. Alternatives to the use of pesticides by using: quantum Agriculture, organic and biodynamic, agromeopatia.
Environmental science - water and hydrosphere - air and atmosphere - soil - life - technology - ecology - energy and energy cycles - flow of energy and photosynthesis in living systems - light and electromagnetic radiation - pollution and human impact - Chemical environmental and chemical cycles - the water quality, quantity and chemistry - the properties of water, a unique substance - water cycle - the characteristics of the water bodies - aquatic life - water chemistry - molecule of 'water - water gas - water acidity.
Water pollution – piombo - heavy metals - mercury - metals - organic tin compounds - inorganic species - asbestos in water - nutrients and eutrophication of water - acidity, alkalinity and salinity - oxidizing and reducing oxygen - organic pollutants - radionuclides (alpha radiation, beta and gamma).
Organic Pollutants bioreffrattari - pestidi - carbamates - by-products of pesticides - polychlorinated biphenyls.
Toxicity of pesticides or agrochemicals - classification of pesticide toxicity - general toxic effects of pesticides - pesticides in food and environment - organochlorine and organophosphorus - pyrethroids - fungicide - herbicide.
