Dharanija Vasudevan M 9:30 - 10:25, W 9:30 - 10:25, F 9:30 - 10:25 Kanbar Hall - 109
Over 100,000 synthetic chemicals are currently in daily use. In order to determine the risk posed to humans and ecosystems, we need to understand and anticipate the extent and routes of chemical exposure. This course addresses the fate to organic chemicals following their intentional or unintentional release into the environment - why these chemicals either persist or breakdown and how are they distributed between surface water, ground water, soil, sediments, biota and air. Analysis of chemical structure is used to gain insight into the molecular interactions that determine the various chemical transfer and transformation processes, while emphasizing the quantitative description of these processes.
