A program with a global view on waste and toxic substances that will allow you to advance in the field of Contaminant Analysis and Treatment”

The World Organization of the United Nations warns that there are about 2 billion people in the world who consume water contaminated by feces. To this situation must be added the new contaminants detected, which come from water that has not been properly treated or that is contaminated by chemical products. Likewise, the scarcity of this vital resource for human beings due to climate change has led to the promotion of initiatives that seek to improve the quality and treatment of water, soil and air.

Given this reality, there is an unquestionable need for engineering professionals with the essential knowledge to implement projects or be part of companies that require profiles capable of eliminating products that are harmful to humans or the environment. That is why this Postgraduate certificate in Contaminant Analysis and Treatment was created, taught exclusively online, and which will offer students the most advanced knowledge in this field.

A university program that will take you to deepen over 12 weeks in the bases that support the Environmental Engineering, the approach of the pollutants detected in water, soils or the processes of adsorption and absorption of substances. The summary videos, detailed videos and case studies provided by the specialists, which are part of this program, will serve to advance in a much more dynamic and enjoyable way through this content.

TECH has thus created a university education that is at the academic forefront and that will allow the engineers to progress in their professional career. This will be possible, moreover, thanks to a program that students can access whenever they want, from any electronic device with Internet access.

This Postgraduate certificate will teach you the challenge of eliminating microplastics from the seas, rivers and soils of the planet”
