Abstract

This article focuses on the routes of transport and abiotic processes involved in the environmental transformation of synthetic organic chemicals and how molecular structure controls the products and lifetimes of several important classes of organic chemicals. The chapter also discusses the current methods to reliably determine the rates and products of degradation of new chemicals based on combinations of chemical structure and environmental processes as well as use of laboratory and field measurements. Methods are also discussed for use of structure activity relations for this purpose.
