19	Objective of the Course:	Teaching the removal of metals and toxic organic compounds by microorganisms and their adverse effects on microorganisms.
20	Contribution of the Course to Professional Development	The student who completes this course will have knowledge about metal and toxic organic compounds that can prevent efficient operation of the systems by creating toxic effects on microorganisms in biological treatment systems used for pollution control in the field of Environmental Engineering. The students obtains information about finding solutions and evaluating possible problems in treatment systems by using the information about the fate and effects of metal and toxic organic compounds in biological treatment systems.

Measurement and Evaluation Techniques Used in the Course	In order to determine the success of the students, questions in the form of classical and multiple-choice test are asked in the exams. In addition, with the homework given within the course, it is ensured that the theoretical knowledge given in the course is reinforced in practice. These activities are evaluated in determining the success grade.
