19	Objective of the Course:	This course introduces environmental issues from a biological point of view. This goal explains with the relationships between human beings and environment, the exposed on environment of human, the influence of human activity on resource use, the effective mechanisms of the main pollutants such as pesticides and surface active agents, the major nutrient cycles such as C,N,S and human effects on these cycles, the biological accumulation and effects, the usage of bio-systems across pollutants in environment.
