Multimedia environmental models: the fugacity approach

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-- Provided By Publisher.
