Abstract
Knowledge of the phase distribution of contaminants is essential for their transfer in the food-web as well as for their transport behaviour. The affinity of the numerous contaminants to the different phases - dissolved, coloids, particles and organisms of different quality, sediment and aerosols - is variable due to environmental conditions (pH, oxygen) and will change when the contaminants are modified by chemical reactions (speciation, conversion).
