Introduction to Environmental Physical Organic Chemistry • Environmental chemistry may be defined as "the study of sources, reactions, transport, effects, and fates of chemical species in water, soil, and air environments, and the effects of technology thereon.” Manahan, 1994
Class objectives: • Highlight some important areas in environmental chemistry • present some of the common techniques that environmental chemists use to quantify process that occur in the environment • It is assumed that everyone has courses in organic and physical chemistry.
Class objectives: • Partitioning is a thread that runs through the course • Linear free energy relationships will be used to help quantify equilibrium and kinetic processes
Thermodynamics • ui = uo1 +RT ln pi/p*iL • fi = i Xipi*pure liquid • RT lnfi hx /fiopure liq = RT lnfi H2O/fiopure liqfihx = fi H2O • ln Kp = a 1/T+b

Additional Principles • Organic Acid-bases and LFERs • diffusion • chemical spills and mass transfer • Organic reactions in the environment • Solid- liquid interactions • photochemistry
Homework, quizzes, exams • To insure that most of us stay reasonably current with the lectures and readings, an option is to have 6-8 unannounced quizzes throughout the semester. • They will take ~10 minutes. The first quiz will be on Chapter 2 since we will not cover Chapter 2. Quizzes will count 10% of your grade.
Another option is a set of short questions to be answered and handed in before most lectures (10% of grade)—your choice!
There will be a homework problem set associated with each assigned chapter of the book. It is due a week after the completion of the book chapter. • These problem sets should take between 3 and 10 hrs. Answers will graded and returned to you as soon as possible. These will count for 25% of your grade.
In addition, you are expected to work through the illustrative examples and problemswhich have answers in the test on your own. • Some of these could appear on exams • There will be two exams (70% of your grade) 25% homeworks, 5%???
Learning • Read Chapter • Simple or short Homeworks • Lecture ??? • Long Homeworks • Exams
Why the interest? There are more than 70,000 synthetic chemicals that are in daily use: solvents components of detergents dyes and varnishes additives in plastics and textiles chemicals used for construction antifouling agents herbicides, insecticides,fungicides
Some examples of environmental chemicals Polynuclear Aromatic HC (PAHs) Dioxins Ketones PCBs CFCs DDT O3, NO2, aerosols, SO2
PAHs Formed from small ethylene radicals “building blocks” produced when carbon based fuels are burned Sources are all types of burning in ChiangMai, Thailand:a) 2-stroke motorcycle engines b) cars- light diesels c) open burning d) barbecued meat??
Combustion Formation of PAH Badger and Spotswood 1960
PAHs Metabolized to epoxides which are carcinogenic; O PAH are indirect acting mutagens in bacterial mutagenicity tests (Ames-TA98+s9) methyl PAHs are often more biologically active than PAHs
Carcinogenic tests with PAHs Professor Gernot Grimmer extracted different types of smoke particles He then took the extract and applied it to mouse skin and implanted it into rat lungs How did he obtain extracts? How did he fractionate his extracts??
Extraction by soxhlet extraction starts with solvent (MeCl2) in a flask
