For comparative analysis, there will be used the experience of two neighbor countries - Greece and Turkey, to better understand the NTS applications in reality. In the article, is described the scenario of lectures and laboratory work which is taking place at Ilia State University, within the scopes of the courses: Ecological Chemistry and Eco-tourism. To increase the level of the popularity of NTS, it will be good experience to organize on-site lectures at the places where NTS are functioning. The outcome of the pedagogical experiment has made it clear, that such a method of teaching of NTS affects positively on students motivation and changes their attitude towards the environmental pollution.
