ESCI 560 - Contaminant Fate and Transport

We will investigate the physical, chemical, and biological processes that govern contaminant concentration, persistence, reactivity and partitioning among environmental media (air, water, soil and biota). General mathematical models will be developed based on these processes and used to predict contaminant behavior in the environment.
