An age-dependent food chain model that considers species bioenergetics and toxicant exposure through water and food is developed. It is successfully applied to PCB contamination of the Lake Michigan lake trout food ...

The solution of the conventional diffusion equation has an obvious shortcoming; that is, the substance concentration will rise instantaneously everywhere when substance is introduced at some point in the sea. Although such ...

Kinetics in water of some chemical and photochemical reactions postulated as key transformations in the environmental mercury cycle were investigated. Decomposition of dimethylmercury (DMM) and diphenylmercury (DPM) by ...

A successful calibration/verification of a numerical hydrodynamic model applied to an estuarine/coastal area requires sets of self-consistent data. These data sets must contain freshwater inflows on tributaries; tides at ...
