CHEM 655 - Organic Chemistry of the Environment (Lec. 3, Cr. 3)


Detailed look at how organic molecules enter the environment and at their subsequent distribution among the “spheres” (biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and pedosophere.) Examines the fates of organic molecules in the environment including hydrolyses, air-oxidation, homolyses, photochemistry, microbial modification, and up-take by living systems. Uptake, distribution, and metabolism of exogenous organics in mammals is examined.
