The role of particulate matter in the fate of contaminants in aquatic ecosystems : Part I, Transport and burial, Part II, Bioavailability, recycling and bioaccumulation /by R.J. Allan.: En13-5/84-18E-PDF

"These two companion papers are not meant to be exhaustive reviews of all of the published literature which may have direct or indirect bearing on the role of particulates in the fate of contaminants. The aim here was to illustrate the overall state of the art the factors and processes which are involved in the role of particulates in the fate of contaminants in aquatic ecosystems, and to highlight points of contention or hypotheses for testing. ... The two papers were invited Keynote presentations at a conference titled the Role of Particulate Matter in the Fate of Pollutants, held at the Chisholm Institute of Technology, Melbourne, Australia, November 21 and 22, 1983. This report (N.W,R.I. Contribution 84-16 [sic]) contains all of the figures and tables presented as slides at the conference. By necessity, shorter papers, in which only a few figures and tables can be included, will appear in the Proceedings of the Conference, Edited by Dr. B.T. Hart, Executive Director, Water Studies Centre, Chisholm Institute of Technology, Melbourne, Australia"--Foreword, p. i.
