Study Guide

Objective

The student is able to name and draw formulas of organic chemical compounds and identify functional groups of molecules. The student understands how the chemical construction and solubility of non-polar and polar solvents differ from each other.
The student knows how to identify the destructive insects and the damage they cause. The student is able to identify mold in organic materials and knows the growth factors of molds and the deterioration caused by mold. The student understands the impact of environmental conditions for mold growth.

Content

Basic organic chemistry, constructions and functional groups. Characteristics and solubility of solvents.
Hazardous substances in museum collections and molds, pests and insects in museums. Environmental factors causing biological deterioration.

Location and time

Lectures and laboratory works are kept at Arabia campus, Hämeentie 135 D

Materials

Literature list and study hand out given by the lecturer.

Teaching methods
