More Description
Multimedia Environmental Models: The Fugacity Approach, third edition takes a broad approach of viewing chemical behaviour 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.
This book employs both the conventional concentration-based procedures, as well as 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.
Key Features:
- Illustrates professional approaches to calculating the fate of chemicals in the environment.
- Explicitly details all worked examples in annotated step-by-step fashion.
- Presents real-life freely downloadable models of use to government, industry, and private consulting professionals and students alike.
- Clarifies symbols and notation
