Fate and transport of POPs in the aquatic environment : with focus on contaminated sediments

Fate and transport of POPs in the aquatic environment : with focus on contaminated sediments

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are hydrophobic substances that readily sorb to organic matter in particles and colloids instead of being freely dissolved in the water phase. This sorption affects the bio­availability and environmental transport of the POPs. The major part of this thesis concer...
