ABSTRACT
In this book, we focus on techniques for building mass balance models of chemical fate in the environment, rather than on the detailed chemistry that controls transport and transformation, as well as toxic interactions. For a fuller account of the basic chemistry, the reader is referred to the excellent texts by Crosby (1988), Tinsley (1979), Stumm and Morgan (1981), Pankow (1991), Schwarzenbach et al. (1993), Seinfeld and Pandis (1997), Findlayson-Pitts and Pitts (1986), Thibodeaux (1996), and Valsaraj (1995).
