CHM 1420
Environmental Chemistry of Soils
Dr. Myrna Simpson
Winter 2007
Topics include: soil solution chemistry, kinetics, clay minerals, organic
matter, and contaminant interactions with soil. Students will be required
to design their own topics for assignments based on the required course
readings. Students who wish to take this course should have some background
in Environmental Chemistry (ENV1105 or equivalent) or should get permission
of the instructor.

CHM 1425
Modeling the Fate of Organic Chemicals in the Environment
Dr. Frank Wania
Fall 2009
|
ENV 1105
Soil Contamination Chemistry
Dr. Myrna Simpson
Topics:
- soil minerals and soil organic matter structure
ion exchange processes in soil
- redox chemistry of soils
- chemistry of saline and sodic soils
- sorption phenomena in soils
- organic contaminants
- heavy metals
- contaminant mobility in unsaturated systems
ENV
1105 will present the basics and practical applications of
environmental soil chemistry and is different than CHM 1420
(Environmental Chemistry of Soils) which is more of a
research-based course. |
CHM 1404 HS
Molecular Analysis of Natural Systems
Dr. Andre Simpson
(not offered 2009/2010)
Download Syllabus
Topics:
- specifically designed for Winter Term for 4hrs (once every two weeks) at UTSC
- part discussion, part lecture, and part lab
- cover some aspects of modern NMR, specifically focus on applications in Environmental Chemistry
- this class will NOT concentrate on theory, but more on “what NMR can do for you!”
- will introduce approaches that could be very useful for many for graduate work
- no previous NMR experience necessary
- the
class will be tailored, when possible, towards the research interests
and the goals of the individuals in the class, but see attached
proposed syllabus
- day and time of the course will be set to fit with the schedule of those involved
