Fate of Hydrophobic Organic Pollutants in the Aquatic Environment: A Review

Tipo de material: TextoTextoSeries ; Environmental Pollution, 69(2-3), p.237-257, 1991Trabajos contenidos:
  • Jaffe, Rudolf
Recursos en línea: Resumen: The fate of hydrophobic organic pollutants in the aquatic environment is controlled by a variety of physical, chemical and biologieal processes. Some ~]" the most important are physical transport, chemical and biological transJormations, and distribution of these compounds between the various environmental compartments (atmosphere, water, sediments and biota), The major biogeochemical processes that control the fate of hydrophobic organic compounds in the aquatic environment are reviewed. These processes include evaporation, solubilization, interaction with dissolved organic matter, sediment-water partitioning, bioaccumulation and degradation. Physico- chemical parameters used to predict the aquatic fate o['such compounds are also discussed.
