Synopsis
A Completely Revised And Updated Edition Of The Authorative Text In Environmental Organic Chemistry Environmental Organic Chemistry focuses on the molecular processes and macroscopic transport phenomena that determine the distribution in space and time of organic chemicals released into the environment; this knowledge is then applied to quantitatively assess the spatiotemporal distributions of organic chemicals in natural and engineered systems. Long established as the discipline s authoritative text, the third edition of Environmental Organic Chemistry significantlyrevises, regroups, and expands the contents of its predecessor along with a complete account of the state of the art of the field.By explaining in a pedagogical way how to relate the structure of a given chemical to its physical chemical properties and intrinsic reactivities, by providing the necessary background knowledge on the chemistry and physics of microscopic and macroscopic environmental systems, and by introducing simple modeling approaches, the reader is able to quantify phase transfers, transformations, and transport processes at each level. Compared to the 2nd edition, the 3rd edition provides a more holistic and teachable description of partitioning and transformation processes, as well as a more focused and tailor-made presentation of physical and mathematical modeling aspects. Divided into six main parts Environmental Organic Chemistry, Third Edition features: Pertinent background knowledge on the make-up and on the use of anthropogenic organic chemicals, on the thermodynamics and kinetics of partitioning and transformation processes, on the molecular interactions governing partitioning processes, on the chemical and physical characteristics of environmental systems, and on simple modeling approaches used to quantitatively assess organic chemicals A quantitative treatment of equilibrium partitioning of organic chemicals in well-defined as well as in environmental systems including air water partitioning, sorption from air or water to organic and inorganic sorbents, and bioaccumulation in aquatic and terrestrial systems A quantitative treatment of transport processes across interfaces and its application to air water and solid water exchange A quantitative treatment of chemical, photochemical, and microbiological transformation processes including a new chapter on the use of compound-specific isotope analysis to assess transformation reactions in laboratory and field systems Case studies illustating how to put everything together using simple modeling approaches Intended as a comprehensive text for (introductory) courses in environmental organic chemistry at the graduate level, as well as an important source of information for risk assessment of organic chemicals and for solving practical problems at contaminated sites ; Environmental Organic Chemistry third edition continues to make a significant contribution to the education of environmental scientists and engineers and, thus, to a better protection of our environment. Rene P. Schwarzenbach, PhD , is a Professor em. of Environmental Chemistry at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich, Switzerland. Philip M. Gschwend, PhD , is Full Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Dieter M. Imboden, PhD , is a Professor em. of Environmental Physics in the Department of Environmental Sciences at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich, Switzerland., Examines in a pedagogical way all pertinent molecular and macroscopic processes that govern the distribution and fate of organic chemicals in the environment and provides simple modeling tools to quantitatively describe these processes and their interplay in a given environmental system Treats fundamental aspects of chemistry, physics, and mathematical modeling as applied to environmentally relevant problems, and gives a state of the art account of the field Teaches the reader how to relate the structure of a given chemical to its physical chemical properties and intrinsic reactivities Provides a holistic and teachable treatment of phase partitioning and transformation processes, as well as a more focused and tailor-made presentation of physical, mathematical, and modeling aspects that apply to environmental situations of concern Includes a large number of questions and problems allowing teachers to explore the depth of understanding of their students or allowing individuals who use the book for self-study to check their progress Provides a companion website, which includes solutions for all problems as well as a large compilation of physical constants and compound properties
