Develop the scientific foundations and theoretical preparation for understanding physico-chemical phenomena and parameters. The course aims to provide students with the following competencies: D1. Knowledge and understanding: Understand the principles on which physics and chemistry are based, in order to be able to tackle subsequent applied courses. D2. Applying knowledge and understanding: Use basic knowledge of chemistry and physics to understand applications and instrumentation in the field of environmental and workplace prevention. D3. Independent judgment: Be able to evaluate the tools and knowledge provided by physical and chemical applications for the purposes of prevention. D4. Communication skills: Be able to present and discuss physical and chemical characteristics and processes. D5. Learning skills: Be able to use the concepts learned during the course to interpret the content of future courses and to carry out professional duties.
