Chemical fate and transport in the environment /
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 d...
