Teachers: Stefan Trapp, Peter Fantke, Bill Doucette (USA) and
invited guest teachers. This course aims at giving a theoretical
and practical introduction to chemical uptake into plants and its
relevance for science and engineering. The focus is on mathematical
modeling and its application. The course will cover the plant
physiological and mathematical basics of plant uptake. Simple and
advanced models will be taught, and the source code with
documentation is available for all participants. The models are
applied to study plant uptake of pesticides, persistent organic
pollutants, emerging pollutants (incl. medical drugs), ionic
compounds and heavy metals. Examples are from a variety of fields,
among them risk assessment, pesticide design, dietary exposure,
contaminated sites, urban gardening and phytoremediation. Students
will have hands-on practice on all models during exercises. The
course will finalize with the preparation of an own model and a
short project report.

.
.
Kursusindhold:
Participants / Students will have hands-on on all models during
exercises, and can take the source codes, script, documentation and
manuals with home. Some practical application will be documented,
and we will also show the tree core phytoscreening method.
One week in advance to the course is expected for preparatory
reading and one week after the course for the set-up of on own
model and the preparation of a short project report.
Litteraturhenvisninger:
Reading material such as lecture scripts, journal articles and book
chapters, in total 120 pages, which will be provided online one
month in advance.
