Description

"Multimedia Environmental Models: The Fugacity Approach, third edition takes a broad approach of viewing chemical behaviour in the total biosphere of connected biotic and abiotic compartments. Chemicals are subject to the laws of "mass balance", a constraint that provides the opportunity to establish quantitative expressions for chemical fate that are central to chemical management and regulatory legislation. This book employs both the conventional concentration-based procedures, as well as those based on application of the more elegant and powerful concept of fugacity, to characterize equilibrium, steady-state distribution, and time-dependent transport between environmental phases such as air, water, and soil. Organic chemicals are emphasized because they are more easily generalized when assessing environmental behavior"--
