Chemical Fate and Transport in the Environment focuses on the basic principles of chemical behavior in the environment. The publication first offers information on basic concepts and surface waters. Discussions focus on abiotic chemical transformations, chemical and biological characteristics of surface waters, physical transport in surface waters, basic environmental chemistry, mass balance and the control volume, and chemical mass and concentration. The text then elaborates on the subsurface environment and the atmosphere. Topics include atmospheric chemical reactions, transport of chemicals in the atmosphere, atmospheric stability, physical removal of chemicals from the atmosphere, physics of groundwater movement, and flow in the unsaturated zone. The book takes a look at retardation, biodegradation, and dimensions and units for environmental quantities. The publication is a dependable reference for students and researchers interested in the fundamental principles of chemical behavior in the environment.
