CHEM A1200 Environmental Organic Chemistry
Examination of processes that affect the behavior and fate of anthropogenic organic contaminants in aquatic environments. Chemical properties influencing transfers between hydrophobic organic chemicals, air, water, and sediments, based on a fundamental understanding of intermolecular interactions, will be studied. Mechanisms of important thermochemical and photochemical transformation reactions will also be briefly investigated.
