Fiche personnelle: Maria Cristina Lavagnolo

Questo corso di Ingegneria Sanitaria Ambientale è dedicato alla comprensione dei principali fenomeni di inquinamento delle matrici ambientali - acqua, suolo e aria - e allo studio delle strategie tecniche e gestionali per la loro prevenzione, mitigazione e risoluzione.

Attraverso un approccio integrato che combina basi scientifiche, strumenti ingegneristici e casi studio reali, il corso fornisce le competenze per analizzare le fonti di contaminazione, valutare i rischi per la salute e per gli ecosistemi e progettare sistemi di trattamento e risanamento sostenibili.

Particolare attenzione è rivolta alle soluzioni innovative e ai principi dell’economia circolare, formando professionisti capaci di affrontare le sfide ambientali contemporanee con rigore tecnico e visione sistemica.

Welcome to this Course Unit

Fundamentals of Environmental Engineering

The objective of the course:

Providing the necessary background for understanding the relevant processes in circular economy. For this reason, the main sources of contamination and the related compounds are presented, the main characterization techniques are introduced as well as the processes of transformation in the environment.

Expectations from the students: 

Refresh some chemistry, learn how to solve simple exercises and to perform simple calculation to quantify relevant parameters in the environment.

Course Structure:

Part 1 : Introduction to environmental issues and of sources of contamination

Part 2 : Organic compounds relevant for the environment: sources and properties

Part 3 : Water, waste and soil characterization

Part 4: Transformation of compounds in the environment: degradation processes

I hope you enjoy the lessons as we delve deeper into the course content!

Best regards,

Professor Roberto RAGA

Resource circularity, while fundamental for reducing environmental impacts, does not eliminate the generation of waste. Even in circular systems, residual materials and by-products inevitably remain, making it essential to study and implement effective waste management strategies alongside circular economy practices. The course will provide you with the theoretical and practical tools to tackle the challenges of waste management within a circular economy context, allowing you to understand both existing strategies and emerging innovations.
