Additives concentration, priority, environmental

One approach to help overcome this disparity between spot and passive sampling data is to use additional water quality data. If average values of DOC, suspended particulate matter, and total organic carbon content are known, it may be possible to estimate the total concentration using empirical relationships that describe the distribution of a chemical between the different phases that may be present in an environmental water sample.121 There is, however, uncertainty associated with this approach, as a number of assumptions are made in the calculations and a better understanding of the partitioning behavior of priority pollutants between the different phases is needed. 

Additionally, and because of profound political changes during last two or three decades, which have forced people to concentrate on their own economic problems, global environmental problems are not the first priority for many people. Therefore great effort is need to engage the Russian population in responsible behaviour with respect to the environment. The major part of the Russian population is not familiar with the concept of green chemistry rather they are well informed about the ideas of resource and energy conservation in industry, especially in chemical industry.
