Organic substances and sediments in water

The second volume combines papers that summarize various processes involved in contaminant fate and transport as well as analytical developments. The processes section has been divided into aquatic particle-organic chemical interaction (characterization and contaminant geochemistry); fate and transport; and interfacial and organic-inorganic processes. The processes and analytical sections present theoretical as well as case study developments. The third volume is devoted to biological processes. It begins with a state-of-the-science summary which incorporates references to the other papers deriving from the symposium. The papers are divided under subheadings: integrating chemistry and toxicology of sediment-water interactions; uptake and accumulation (bioavailability and bioaccumulation); biodegradation (aerobic and dechlorinations and co-metabolism).
