partitioning, and chemical/biological transformations in surface waters, in soil and groundwater, and in air. Each of these three major environmental media are introduced by descriptive overviews, followed by presentation of the controlling physical, chemical, and biological processes. The textemphasizes intuitively based mathematical models for chemical transport and transformations in the environment, and serves both as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate courses in environmental science and engineering, and as a standard reference for environmental practitioners.Provides an integrated coverage of major environmental mediaPresents a quantitative treatment of fate and transport processesIs based on a graduate-level course taught for 10 years at MIT, augmented with practical consulting experienceFeatures examples and illustrations throughout the textIncludes extensive exercises at the end of each chapterContains ample references to the primary literature
