1 83 - Environmental Organic Chemistry

Institution:

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Subject:

Description:

Focuses on the processes affecting organic compounds in the environment. Uses physical chemical properties to predict chemical transfers between environmental compartments (air, water, sediments, and biota). Uses molecular structure-reactivity relationships to estimate chemical, photochemical, and biochemical transformation rates. Resulting process models are combined to predict environmental concentrations (and related biological exposures) of anthropogenic and natural organic compounds. Graduate students taking 1.83 for H-level credit have additional reading and homework emphasizing structure-activity relationships.
