ECTS credit allocation (and other scores):	5.00 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles: the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS; the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h; 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes; weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS; work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load. view allocation of credits
Language:	Polish
Type of course:	obligatory courses
Short description:	The participant of the study will gain advanced knowledge on the analysis of trace amounts of organic compounds in the environment using capillary gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. The participant of the study will practically learn the GC/MS problems during four laboratory exercises.
Full description:	Gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC / MS) will be presented during the lecture. The following will be discussed: the idea of mass spectrometry, basics of mass spectrometry, construction of spectrometers, ionization methods - electron ionization and chemical ionization, mass analyzers: quadrupole, ion traps and high resolution mass spectrometers; qualitative analysis will be discussed - total ion current (TIC) measurement, quantitative analysis - SIM; tandem mass spectrometry (MS / MS), structure determination by MS. The lecture will be supplemented with four laboratory exercises: 1. Gas chromatography in cooperation with mass spectrometry, 2. Solid phase microextraction (SPME) using gas chromatography combined with mass spectrometry (GC / MS), 3. Analysis of the head space layer using gas chromatography combined with mass spectrometry (GC / MS), 4. Use of stable isotopes in GC / MS analysis, isotope dilution method and mass spectra interpretation.

Learning outcomes:	After completing the course, the student will understand the basic problems of trace analysis of organic pollutants in the environment using capillary gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry as an analytical technique.
Assessment methods and assessment criteria:	Discussion during the lecture, processing of data obtained during work in the laboratory, final exam.
