Conference on role of organic matter and temperature in contaminant toxicity and global perspective within an ecosystem.
The focus of the first conference was on the role of organic matter and temperature in containment toxicity and a sub-theme was a global perspective within an ecosystem.
About the main theme, one particular presentation struck me. It was on the Sequestration of Hydrophobic Organic Contaminants by Gadsosorbents. It examined the chemical interactions that occur between hydrophobic contaminants and the soil. It suggested that the sediments may lead to strong binding and release rate that is slow and therefore affect remediation rates and endpoints. However, ...
