  • Conference paper
Book cover Soil and Water Pollution Monitoring, Protection and Remediation

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAIV,volume 69))

Abstract

Sorption of organic contaminants to natural particles plays a fundamental role in their biological availability. This paper considers the influence of sorption thermodynamics and kinetics on contaminant bioavailability, with emphasis on the author’s prior work.
