The field of chemical oceanography/marine chemistry considers many processes and concepts that are not normally included in a traditional chemical curriculum. While this fact makes the application of chemistry to the study of the oceans difficult, it does not mean that fundamental chemical principles cannot be applied. The chapters included in this book provide examples of important chemical oceanographic processes, all taking place within the basic framework of fundamental chemistry. There are three principal concepts that establish many of the chemical distributions and processes and make the ocean a unique place to practice the art of chemistry (1) the high ionic strength of seawater, (2) the presence of a complex mixture of organic compounds, and (3) the sheer size of the oceans.

The multimedia model present in the 2 FUN tool was developed based on an extensive comparison and evaluation of some of the previously discussed multimedia models, such as CalTOX, Simplebox, XtraFOOD, etc. The multimedia model comprises several environmental modules, i.e. air, fresh water, soil/ground water, several crops and animal (cow and milk). It is used to simulate chemical distribution in the environmental modules, taking into account the manifold links between them. The PBPK models were developed to simulate the body burden of toxic chemicals throughout the entire human lifespan, integrating the evolution of the physiology and anatomy from childhood to advanced age. That model is based on a detailed description of the body anatomy and includes a substantial number of tissue compartments to enable detailed analysis of toxicokinetics for diverse chemicals that induce multiple effects in different target tissues. The key input parameters used in both models were given in the form of probability density function (PDF) to allow for the exhaustive probabilistic analysis and sensitivity analysis in terms of simulation outcomes [71].

Pollutants with high VP tend to concentrate more in the vapor phase as compared to soil or water. Therefore, VP is a key physicochemical property essential for the assessment of chemical distribution in the environment. This property is also used in the design of various chemical engineering processes [49]. Additionally, VP can be used for the estimation of other important physicochemical properties. For example, one can calculate Henry s law constant, soil sorption coefficient, and partition coefficient from VP and aqueous solubility. We were therefore interested to model this important physicochemical property using quantitative structure-property relationships (QSPRs) based on calculated molecular descriptors [27].

Whether the chemical distributes evenly throughout the body (one-compartment model) or differentially between different compartments (models of two or more compartments). 

A hypothetical volume of body fluid into which the chemical distributes, ft is not a real volume, but is a proportionality constant relating the amount of chemical in the body to the measured concentration in blood or plasma.

A quantitative expression for the introduction of primary pollutants into the atmosphere is basic to any air quality model. Emission is most generally described as a geographic, temporal, and chemical distribution that requires a rather massive array of numbers. Some simple models need only the aggregated numbers found in ordinary tabulations...

Data on distribution give an indication of whether a particular tissue may be exposed to the substance or not. The extent of chemical distribution into tissues depends on the extent of plasma protein and tissue binding and this may vary among species. This is also the case for passage of chemicals into the brain, which is protected by the blood-brain barrier. 

The need for a reliable source of slurry during CMP stimulated the growth of a whole industry of bulk chemical distribution (BCD) systems. An extended discussion of BCD systems is beyond the scope of this work, but a few words are in order. Slurry distribution systems vary in sophistication from the simple laboratory system consisting of little more than a barrel of slurry and a pump to sophisticated delivery systems designed to supply slurry to tens of CMP tools in a high-volume production environment [56].
