ABSTRACT
The.movement.and.transformation.of.materials.within.an.environmental.setting.is.a. very.important.consideration.when.evaluating.the.risks.associated.with.their.release. The.greater.a.material’s.stability,.in.terms.of.low.chemical.reactivity.and.ready.suspension.in.fluid.environmental.media,.the.greater.its.potential.for.distribution.and. therefore.the.wider.the.potential.scope.of.exposure.(area,.number.of.receptors,.types. of.habitats,.etc.).
