Importance of separation in analytical chemistry, classification of separation techniques, steps in analytical method development, laboratory exercises in the analysis of environmental samples. The course will facilitate research and teaching into chemical systems/processes in the environmental and biological sciences. It offers opportunities for collaboration in environmental monitoring, biodiversity conservation and capacity building. Topics:- Environmental monitoring in Kenya: preserving biodiversity in Eastern Africa; pollutants in the scavenger populations (e.eg. vultures, lions and hyenas)- Occurrence of PCPPs in the environment in Finland and Kenya.

Target group
At least minor in Chemistry or equivalent. The Summer School annually offers courses for advanced master's students, graduate students, and post-docs in the various fields of science and information technology.

Course aim
The most important aims of the Summer School are to develop post-graduates scientific readiness and to offer students the possibility to study in a modern, scientific environment and to create connections to the international science community. Aim of the course:- to improve the own analytical skills, especially with GC/MS and HPLC/UV/fluorescence and HPLC/MS/MS- to develop the methodology for own research subject- to learn what the other researchers are doing in their laboratories and with the same instruments- to improve the quality of the results- to increase the effective time of instruments in the laboratory- avoid problems and errors
