Environmental Organic Chemistry

Demonstrates how the chemical structure of organic compounds influences\nthe molecular interactions which control transfer and reaction processes in\nthe natural environment. Thoroughly explains how to quantify these processes\nusing the principles of chemistry, physics and biology in a macroscopic\nenvironmental system, Focuses on the behavior of major synthetic organic\nchemicals introduced in large quantities into the environment, Contains more\nthan 100 illustrations, an extensive bibliography and useful reference material\nsuch as constants, units and equations, Serves as a text for introductory\ncourses in environmental organic chemistry as well as a source of information\nfor the professional concerned with risk and hazard assessment of organic\nchemical pollutants in the environment.
