However,the complexity of the software and models often act as an inhibitor to the advancement of water quality science. A Basic Introduction to Pollutant Fate and Transport fills the need for a basic instructional tool for students and environmental professionals who lack the rigorous mathematical background necessary to derive the governing fate and transport equations.PollutionMathematical modelsPollutantsEnvironmental chemistryEnvironmental risk assessmentEnvironmental policyPollutionMathematical models.Pollutants.Environmental chemistry.Environmental risk assessment.Environmental policy.628.5/2628.52Dunnivant Frank M448177Anders Elliot448178MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910830691503321A basic introduction to pollutant fate and transport3927393UNINA
