Multimedia Environmental Models: The Fugacity Approach, Third Edition, adopts a comprehensive perspective to examine the intricate behavior of chemicals within the interconnected biotic and abiotic compartments of the entire biosphere. It delves into the realm of chemical mass balance, a fundamental constraint that offers the potential to develop quantitative expressions for chemical fate, which are of paramount importance in chemical management and regulatory frameworks.

This book employs a versatile approach, utilizing both conventional concentration-based methods and the more elegant and powerful concept of fugacity, to characterize equilibrium, steady-state distribution, and time-dependent transport between environmental phases such as air, water, and soil. The focus is particularly emphasized on organic chemicals due to their inherent generality when assessing environmental behavior.

Key Features:

Illustrates professional approaches to calculating the fate of chemicals in the environment.

Provides explicit details of all worked examples in an annotated step-by-step fashion.

Offers real-life, freely downloadable models for use by government, industry, and private consulting professionals, as well as students.

Clarifies symbols and notation, enhancing the understanding of complex mathematical concepts.

By adopting a holistic and interdisciplinary approach, Multimedia Environmental Models: The Fugacity Approach, Third Edition, equips readers with the tools and knowledge necessary to effectively address the challenges of chemical management and regulation in a rapidly evolving environmental landscape.
