20. The Thai-CEP Undergraduate/Graduate Exchange Program The UNC-Thailand Field site • Pollution does not understand boarders. • We must begin to address these problems from both inside and outside ones culture.

21. General Approach • Since 2001, UNC-CEP undergraduates participated in a 6+ month experience in Thailand that begins at the end of May 2001 • Small groups of UNC students come together with Thai students to study and work on a research project at various Thai universities. • Thai students will go back with UNC students for a semester at UNC.

22. Classes UNC students take 3 direct contact/web-based environmental classes • Atmospheric and ecotoxicology • LCA • Energy and the Environment • Climate Change and Eco • Biomass and Energy • Energy and the Environ

23. Feasibility of Ethanol Use and an Energy Analysis and Environmental Impact of Ethanol in Thailand:KMUTT 2001- 2002

26. Air Pollution in NorthernThailand

33. Long standing relationship with Peking Universityand CRAESSince 1983 there were 13 visiting Chinese scholars in our research group at UNC

34. 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

35. 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.

36. Class objectives: • We will cover general topics: Global warming, Strat. O3, aerosols, photochemical smog, acid rain, etc. • Develop relationships will be used to help quantify equilibrium and kinetic processes

37. 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

38. Vapor pressure How to calculate boiling points

39. Vapor pressure and Henry’s law sat P sat sat *    i K P V iL iw sat iaw iw C iw Solubility and activity coefficients Octanol-water partitioning coefficients

40. Homework, quizzes, exams • To insure that most of us stay reasonably current with the lectures and readings, an option is to have 8-10 unannounced quizzes throughout the semester. • They will take ~10 minutes. Quizzes will count 20% of your grade.

41. Another option is a set of short questions to be answered and handed in before most lectures (20% of your grade)—your choice!

42. There will be a homework problem set associated with each assigned chapter of the book. • These problem sets should take between 1 and 3 hrs.

43. Some of these could appear on exams • There will be two exams

44. 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

45. Some examples of environmental chemicals Polynuclear Aromatic HC (PAHs) Dioxins Ketones PCBs CFCs DDT O3, NO2, aerosols, SO2

46. 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??

47. Combustion Formation of PAH Badger and Spotswood 1960

48. 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

49. 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??

50. Extraction by soxhlet extraction starts with solvent (MeCl2) in a flask
