This book was released on 2003. Conceptual Modeling of the Major Factors Controlling the Sources, Fate, and Effects of Persistent Organic Pollutants in the Estuary available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which include PCBs, DDTs, chlordane, dieldrin, and dioxins, are responsible for a large majority of the failures of Estuary waters to meet water quality standards. The San Francisco Estuary Institute (SFEI) has monitored Estuary water, sediments, bivalves, and fish since 1993. We have combined these data with simple mass balance models to develop a general conceptual model that illustrates the major factors controlling the environmental fate of these POPs and another group of organic contaminants, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
