Curriculum
Programme Structure
The programme is structured in 5 modules, listed below in order of study.
01
Legal, technical and environmental foundations of pollution and its regulation in industrial, maritime and urban activities
- Contamination concept from the legal, technical and environmental perspective: sources, vectors, recipients and associated damage
- Typologies of regulated contamination: atmospheric, water, soil, acoustic, light, thermal and dangerous substances
- Guiding principles of environmental law applied to pollution control: prevention, precaution, correction at origin and responsibility
- Relationship between economic activity, environmental risk and need for regulatory intervention on emissions, discharges and waste
- Basic regulatory instruments: emission limits, authorizations, licences, environmental quality standards and control plans
02
Regulation of atmospheric emissions, air quality and regulatory control of fixed, mobile and industrial sources
- Air pollution regulatory framework: channelized, diffuse emissions and mobile sources subject to control
- Critical air pollutants: particles, NOx, SOX, VOC, CO, tropospheric ozone and dangerous air pollutants
- Limits, authorizations and monitoring obligations in industrial, energy, logistics and transport facilities
- Measurement and verification systems: continuous monitoring, isokinetic campaigns, emissions inventories and data traceability
- Reduction, contingency and adaptation plans to critical air quality episodes: operational and regulatory obligations
03
Regulations on discharges, water quality and prevention of water pollution in coastal, industrial and urban environments
- Water pollution regulatory framework: industrial, domestic, port, agricultural and maritime discharges
- Regulated parametres of quality and discharge: pH, BOD, COD, solids, nutrients, metals, hydrocarbons and indicator microorganisms
- Operator Authorizations and Obligations of the Operator: Limits, Download Points, Self-Control and Periodic Report
- Regulation of effluents, process waters, contaminated runoff and discharges in sensitive receptor bodies
- Monitoring, sampling and chain of custody to verify compliance in terms of water pollution
04
Regulation of waste, hazardous substances and soil contamination with a focus on traceability, storage and final disposal
- Regulatory Waste Classification: Hazardous, non-hazardous, special, industrial, sanitary and differentiated management
- Regulatory requirements for segregation, labelling, temporary storage, transportation and delivery to authorized manager
- Hazardous and polluting priority substances: Safety tokens, compatibility, document control and management obligations
- Soil pollution prevention and regulation: spills, infiltrations, environmental liabilities and remediation obligations
- Traceability systems of waste and polluting substances: records, manifests, evidence and audit of movements
05
Practical application of pollution regulations and final diagnostic project and environmental compliance plan
- Identification of the regulatory framework applicable to an activity, facility or project with significant polluting potential
- Diagnosis of compliance gaps in emissions, discharges, waste, storage of substances and operational control
- Design of an Environmental Compliance Plan: Obligations, Schedule, Responsible, Indicators and Verification System
- Preparation of monitoring, reporting, incident response and document management procedures for inspections
- Assessment of the legal and environmental risk of the activity analysed: Criticality, sanctioning exposure and mitigation measures
