A university program that will lead you to learn the techniques of assessment, analysis, control and treatment of environmental pollution” 

The contamination existing in the world ranges from the toxic elements found in the water of a river to the very noise generated by the machines of a factory. A worrisome situation on many occasions, which also entails non-compliance with legal regulations, causing serious socioeconomic damage to society. 

Whatever the factor causing it, it is necessary to have precise analyzes that allow professionals to make corrections or determine the possible effects on the health of people and the environment. For this, highly trained engineers with solid knowledge are required. It is for this reason that TECH has created this Postgraduate certificate in Contaminant Analysis that seeks to offer graduates the most relevant information and that contributes to the promotion of their professional career. 

A program with advanced knowledge of analytical chemistry in the environmental field, the techniques used in sampling, the different elements that influence soil, water, and air contamination, as well as existing problems. All this will allow students to acquire learning with which they will be able to evaluate the impact of projects, plans or programs. In addition, thanks to multimedia resources, students will delve into the consequences of radiation contamination in a more dynamic and agile way.

Professionals is thus before an excellent opportunity to advance in their career, thanks to a Postgraduate certificate that they will be able to attend comfortably, whenever and wherever they wish. You only need an electronic device with an Internet connection, to be able to view at any time the content of the agenda hosted on the Virtual Campus.

This Postgraduate certificate will allow you to develop projects that reverse the environmental damage caused by pollutants in the waters”
