Über dieses Buch

This third volume focusses on anthropogenic organic pollutants harming the environment. Their structural diversity and fate in the environment, their effects and relevance are presented. For such a flexible usage this textbook series 'Fundamentals in Organic Geochemistry' consists of different volumes with clear defined aspects and with manageable length. Organic Geochemistry is a modern scientific subject characterized by a high transdisciplinarity and located at the edge of chemistry, environmental sciences, geology and biology. Therefore, there is a need for a flexible offer of appropriate academic teaching material on an undergraduate level addressed to the variety of students coming originally from different study disciplines.

Frontmatter

Chapter 1. Fate and Assessment of Organic Pollutants in the Geosphere

Outlook

For risk assessments of organic pollutants three major properties and processes are relevant: dispersion, environmental stability and (eco)toxicological effects. Beside a brief introduction of these parameters and their application, also two further topics comprising the formation of bound residues as well as specific environmental aspects in the three main compartments hydro-, atmo- and pedosphere are discussed.

Chapter 2. Organic Pollutants

Outlook

A wide range of organic substances of anthropogenic origin have been detected in the environment. Many of them are characterized as pollutants pointing to harmful effects and extended environmental stability. Since many environmentally relevant properties of these contaminants are related to both molecular structures and fields of application, important pollutant classes are discussed in detail classified either by their chemistry (e.g. halogenated compounds, PAHs) or their technical application (e.g. pesticides, explosives) in this chapter.

Chapter 3. Petrogenic Contaminations

Outlook

Production and refinement of petroleum results in contamination of the environment as the result of accidents and careless handling. Since petroleum is a complex mixture of compounds, the environmental fate of such petrogenic contaminations is intricate.

Jan Schwarzbauer, Branimir Jovančićević

Chapter 4. POPs – A Special Perspective on a Specific Group of Contaminants

Outlook

One group of environmental contaminants received high attention during the last decades due to their high environmental stability, the so-called persistent organic pollutants or POPs. Here, this group of pollutants and its linkage with the Stockholm Convention are briefly discussed.

Jan Schwarzbauer, Branimir Jovančićević

Chapter 5. Anthropogenic Marker

Outlook

Organic contaminants obtain scientific attention not only due to harmful effects but also because of their indicative properties. Indicative are the molecular structures with high emission source specifity. Anthropogenic marker can be used to trace the anthropogenic impact on ecosystems in time and space.
