Short description
A Basic Introduction to Pollutant Fate and Transport presents and integrates all aspects of fate and transport models-chemistry, modeling, risk assessment, and the environmental legal framework. It approaches each of these topics initially from a conceptual perspective before explaining the concepts in terms of the math necessary to model the problem.
