Environmental Compartments: Equilibria and Assessment of Processes Between Air, Water, Sediments and Biota

摘要: Any concentration of a substance measured in living or non-living system results from its distribution among all the environmental compartments: air, water, sediments, and biota. The transfer one compartment to another is regulated by physical forces chemical properties also those compartments. When processes are nearly constant time, will achieve predictable equilibria distributions. It utmost importance that students, scientists, policymakers understand basic which control order interpret measurements obtained within limited number
