A comprehensive account of the state of the science of environmental mass transport
The book begins by discussing mass transport fundamentals from an environmental perspective. It introduces the concept of mobility ― key to environmental fate, since transport must occur prior to any reaction or partitioning within the natural multimedia compartments. The fugacity approach to environmental mass transfer and the conventional approach are examined. This is followed by a description of the individual mass transport processes and the appropriate flux equations required for a quantitative expression. The editors have identified 41 individual processes believed to be the most environmentally significant, which form the basis for the remainder of the book
