Multimedia Environmental Models

<p><strong>Multimedia Environmental Models: The Fugacity Approach Third Edition</strong> takes a broad approach of viewing chemical behavior 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. </p><p>This book employs both the conventional concentration-based procedures and 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.</p><p>Features</p><ul> <p> </p> <li>Illustrates professional approaches to calculating the fate of chemicals in the environment</li> <p> </p> <li>Explicitly details all worked examples in an annotated step-by-step fashion</li> <p> </p> <li>Presents real-life freely downloadable models of use to government industry and private consulting professionals and students alike</li> <p> </p> <li>Clarifies symbols and notation</li> </ul>
