1. Characteristics and Objective
Specialized experiment (SJ)
Environmental chemistry is the science specializing in the existence, characteristics, behavior,
effects of harmful chemical substance in environment medium and the control of it. The objectives
of environmental chemistry experimental course is: To make the students deepen the
understanding of fundamental theories in environmental chemistry through the experiments and
grasp the basic experimental skill of environmental chemistry, to teach the students how to
propose questions, analysis questions, solve questions and train them to master those abilities.
The environmental toxicology is to use the toxicology methods to study the environmental
pollutant, especially the science of poisonous effects to the biological organism from chemical
pollutant and the mechanism. The objective of the environmental toxicology experiment is: To
make students grasp the basic experimental skills of the environmental toxicology through the
experiment, make them deepen the understanding and the utilization of the basic theory in
environmental toxicology.

3. Requirement
Basic experiments
The requirements of basic experiments are:
(1)To deepen the understanding of environmental chemistry and environmental toxicology, to
grasp basic experimental skills of environmental chemistry and environmental toxicology.
(2)To propose questions and give the keys to solve the questions through the observation and the
investigations of the phenomena during experiments, analysis and discuss for the result of the
experiment.
Synthetical Experiments
The requirement of synthetical experiments is to utilize the knowledge of relevant subjects and
different knowledge in one subject comprehensively, and to enhance the students’ ability in

analysis and resolution of problems.
4. Basic Content
Basic experiments
There are 6 fundamental experiments in this course, mainly involves: The change of toxicity while
biology (plant, bacterium and so on) receiving pollutant in the water; the existence, the position,
the alteration of physical and chemical characteristic, and the disposal of organism or heavy metal
pollutant in water or soil environmental medium.
Synthetical Experiments
The main contents of synthetical experiments are to guide the students utilizing the knowledge
from environmental monitoring and environmental chemistry courses through the operation of the
experiments of transportation and transformation of heavy metal in the soil - plant system, to find
the regularity in the transportation and transformation of the pollutants and to propose the
measurements for it.
The analytical and appraising experiment for the eutrophication extent of water involves the
relevant knowledge and skills in environmental microbiology, environmental monitoring,
Environmental Assessment courses, furthermore, to train the students utilizing series of
knowledge and proposing the resolution to the water eutrophication through the experiment is
another important portion.
