    Schwarzenbach et. al Environmental Organic Chemistry Very good review of processes, systems, compartments, media and some basic governing equations. I skipped the math bits (mostly) because they are annoying to read but did try and do a verbal walk through of the equations' salient uses. A good review of modeling was also included in the next chapter, but we'll skip that (math/graph heavy) and focus on partitioning and transport for the next episode. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/osuz504-tech/support
