Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
Chemical Fate and Transport in the Environment covers the fundamental principles of
mass transport chemical partitioning, and chemical transformation in surface waters,
in groundwater or subsurface environments, and in the atmosphere. Each of these three
major environmental media are introduced by descriptive overviews, including the controlling
physical, chemical, and biological processes. The text emphasizes intuitively based
mathematical models for chemical transport and transformations within these three
environmental media
