Build up- does not break easily
Xenobiotics
Biomagnification – increase in conc toxin as it moves
through food chain (lower to higher trophic level)
Drug – penicillin
Chemical found in organism which are not normally present (foreign)
Not produced naturally, only by synthetic process
PCBDDT
Non polar xenobiotic diffuse /store in fat
Can be modify/detoxify in liver and removed.

- DDT endocrine disruptor
- Carcinogen (persistent organic pollutant)
- Odorless organochloride known for insecticidal property
- DDT bio accumulate bird, magnify in food chain concentrate in top predator
- Stored in body fat, DDT, resistant to metabolism
- Control mosquito – malaria and typhus among civilian/ troop.
5. Biodegradable substance
Amelioration - Respond to xenobiotics
Approach to lessen problem/improve outlook
Host/guest – non bonding interaction
Supramolecule complex – Non covalent
Ionic /H2 /VDF / hydrophobic interaction
H + G → H-G
Host – trap guest
Host – cage/tube to trap guest
Guest- Xenobiotic – drug/molecule/radioactive
Guest - Xenobiotic

Breakdown by natural process
Plant based
HYDRO biodegradable plastic
Petroleum based
OXO biodegradable plastic
- Made from starch (starch based polymer)
- Initiated by hydrolysis with water produce CO2/CH4
From oil – cobalt used as catalyst for breakdown
Plastic doesnt just fragment, but consumed by bacteria after
catalyst (cobalt, nickel) has reduced its molecular structure
to a level which permit bacteria to break it down to CO2/H2O

Bioremediation
Waste management using organism to
remove/neutralize pollutant from contaminated site.
Microbes/bacteria to breakdown oil with enzymes
removal/immobilization
inorganic ions
Polyester – polylactic ester
breakdown easily(ester bond)
6. Green chemistry
Prevention
Better to prevent waste than treat/clean up
waste after it has been created.
Atom Economy
Synthetic mtd design to max incorporation of
all material used in final product.
Sustainable chemistry
Chemistry for environment
Use research/engineering to minimize
production/waste release to environ
12 principles
Less Hazardous Chemical Syntheses
Synthetic mtd design to use sub that possess
little/ no toxicity to human health/ environment.
Designing Safer Chemicals
Chemical product design with minimum toxicity.
Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries
Solvent, separation agent should be
made unnecessary wherever possible
Design for Energy Efficiency
Energy used chemical process is minimized.
Synthetic mtd conduct at ambient temp/press
Click here Green Chemistry
Renewable Feedstocks
Feedstock should be renewable
rather than depleting
Reduce Derivatives/steps
Unnecessary derivatization (use of blocking group) should be
minimized, such step require additional reagent generate waste
Catalysis
Catalytic used are specific to the reactants
Design for Degradation
Chemical product break down naturally,
products do not persist in environment.
Safer Chemistry Accident Prevention
Sub use must minimize potential for
accident, explosion, and fire.

Describe role starch in biodegradable plastic
Plastics have high starch content, absorb water and swell, causing
plastic to break into small pieces that can be broken down by bacteria.
Explain why plastic, such as PVC is non biodegradable
PVC cannot be broken down through microbial action as it contain
C–Cl bond . No enzymes capable of breaking this bond
State 3 example enzymes, helping to ameliorate environmental problem
Break down oil spills
Break down some plastics
Break down biological detergents
