Learning unit contents

The objective of the course is to provide to the students the scientific elements of context, regulation (including the steps of impact studies and of environmental permits) and those related to the impacts of industry on the environment related to industrial processes. The "air", "water" and "soil" sectors will be particularly developed. The course is illustrated by the presentation of industries such as papermill, cement and steel activities. A company visit is planned as far as it can be arranged.
 
The structure is as follows
 
- (AC Romain) Introduction (database of industries, NACE code, definition of industrial pollution, etc.)
- (AC Romain) Legislation (environmental permit, IED, Impact studies, SEVESO, E-PRTR)
- (AC Romain and A Hanson) Examples of industries (paper, cement, steel)
- (AC Romain) Gaseous effluents-Air pollution
- (A Hanson) Wastewater
- (A Hanson) Soils
- (A Hanson) Waste

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Capacity to
 
- understand a problem.
- integrate (ie apprehend in a parallel and coherent way) the different elements related to industrial pollution
- interpret sectoral conditions, environmental permits

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

The basics of chemistry acquired in secondary education.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Ex cathedra course + videos of industries presentation and, if possible visit + homework on a company of your choice.
Students will use the documents made available on eCampus.

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

Face to face.

Recommended or required readings

Required: PowerPoint of the course
Strongly recommended: documents deposited in eCampus

Any session :

- In-person

written exam ( open-ended questions )

- Remote

oral exam

- If evaluation in "hybrid"

preferred in-person


Additional information:

Written exam + report on an industry: the instructions and procedures are detailed in the eCampus, "exam" file and presented orally during the 1st class.
The two teachers evaluate independently.
3/4 for the written exam (weighting: 50% A. Hanson and 50% AC. Romain) + 1/4 for the report.
  If red code
The written exam will be transformed into an oral closed-book exam remotely on the Lifesize platform: the procedures are detailed in the eCampus "exam" file and presented orally during the 1st class and recalled during the last class + report
If orange code
Teachers leave the choice to students of the presential or distanced
presential   it would be a written exam (two questions per teacher with, for each teacher, one open and one more precise-)   distanced on lifesize, this would be a 10-minute oral exam per teacher, with a choice of a question number from a list of 40 for each teacher. The first student begins with Mrs. Romain and then connects to M Hanson's room with a set rest time between each. For example 9am at Romain and 9.40am at Hanson. Moreover, in this case, for reasons of scheduling, the examination will take place this year on two half-days (1st group on the afternoon of the first day and 2nd group on the morning of the 2nd day).       We await your collective decision as soon as possible
