"...covers theoretical background and case studies dealing with the physical-chemical properties that govern the fate of organic compounds..." (Environmental Science & Technology, December 1, 2002)
"...a grand effort...Drs. Schwarzenbach, Gschwend, and Imboden...have gone beyond minor revisions and updating by eliminating old chapters and creating new ones to reflect a systems approach to understanding both fundamental theory and state of the art modeling." (Applied Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, Vol. 18, No. 6, June 2003)
Environmental organic chemistry focuses on compound properties and environmental factors governing the processes that determine the fate of organic chemicals in natural and engineered systems; this knowledge is then applied to quantitatively assessing the environmental behavior of organic chemicals.
Based on the author’s discussions with professors and students the authors are refocusing the book on “chemical processes,” thus leaving out most of the environmental physics chapters. Pertinent physical aspects are integrated into various chapters and only one or two chapters are devoted to (simple) illustrative modeling aspects. The book also divides the various topics/chapters into introductory and an advanced sections in order to make the book more amenable to introductory courses. Finally the book describes the pertinent compound properties, environmental characteristics, and resulting processes in a more appealing manner, rather than providing an exhaustive scientific review of the topic.

A Completely Revised And Updated Edition Of The Authorative Text In Environmental Organic Chemistry
Environmental Organic Chemistry focuses on the molecular processes and macroscopic transport phenomena that determine the distribution in space and time of organic chemicals released into the environment; this knowledge is then applied to quantitatively assess the spatiotemporal distributions of organic chemicals in natural and engineered systems.
Long established as the discipline’s authoritative text, the third edition of Environmental Organic Chemistry significantlyrevises, regroups, and expands the contents of its predecessor along with a complete account of the state of the art of the field.By explaining in a pedagogical way how to relate the structure of a given chemical to its physical chemical properties and intrinsic reactivities, by providing the necessary background knowledge on the chemistry and physics of microscopic and macroscopic environmental systems, and by introducing simple modeling approaches, the reader is able to quantify phase transfers, transformations, and transport processes at each level. Compared to the 2nd edition, the 3rd edition provides a more holistic and teachable description of partitioning and transformation processes, as well as a more focused and tailor-made presentation of physical and mathematical modeling aspects. Divided into six main parts Environmental Organic Chemistry, Third Edition features:
Intended as a comprehensive text for (introductory) courses in environmental organic chemistry at the graduate level, as well as an important source of information for risk assessment of organic chemicals and for solving practical problems at contaminated sites ; Environmental Organic Chemistry third edition continues to make a significant contribution to the education of environmental scientists and engineers and, thus, to a better protection of our environment.
