Environmental Organic Chemistry Rene P. Schwarzenbach, Philip M. Gschwend, and Dieter M. Imboden is an English-language textbook focused on environmental organic chemistry. This reference work addresses the chemical processes that determine the fate and behavior of organic substances in the environment in a clear and well-structured manner.
The book provides a thorough introduction to the fundamental aspects of chemistry, physics, and mathematical modeling applied to environmental problems. It explains how the molecular structure of chemical compounds influences their properties and reactions in natural settings. In addition, it covers phase partitioning, transformation processes, and the integration of these processes into environmental models.
With numerous practice questions and problems, this work supports both instructors and self-directed individuals who are interested. A companion website is also available, featuring solutions and extensive data on physical constants and substance properties.
This textbook aligns with fields such as organic chemistry, environmental organic chemistry, and environmental sciences, and is suitable for professionals and students who are delving into environmental chemistry.
