Any compartment of the aquatic ecosystem can be represented as a particular volume containing water, particulate matter, biota, dissolved materials, etc. Loadings and exports are represented as mass fluxes across the boundaries of the volume element (processes Se, D and L). Reactive processes are treated as point processes centered within the volume. Thus, the EXAMS model takes into account both physical and chemical processes that affect the environmental fate of a particular chemical.

Marine clams and worms tended to underrepresent chlordane concentrations in the ambient sediments. Concentration factors were less than 0.2 for clams and 0.6 for worms (Ray et al. 1983). Similarly, chlordane concentrations in clams from the Shatt al-Arab River in Iraq closely reflected chlordane concentrations in water particulates when compared to levels in water columns or in sediments (DouAbul et al. 1988). 

Sediments appear to have relatively enriched levels of NP. The ratio of NP to NPEO in sediments is much higher than in samples of particulate matter (see also Chapter 6.3), and this ratio seems to increase from water < particulate matter < marine sediment < freshwater sediment. In 10 out of 12 freshwater sediments, and 5 out of 11 marine sediments, the NP/NPEO ratio was more than one. In particulate matter, this ratio was observed in fewer samples, namely in 7 out of 50 samples. 

A comparison of Rhine, Meuse and Scheldt estuaries revealed that in the Rhine estuary, with its relatively short residence times of the water, concentrations on estuarine SPM were similar to or higher (ratios estuarine/freshwater >1) than those upstream (i.e. on freshwater SPM from the river), whereas in Meuse and Scheldt estuaries with longer residence times of the water, particulate matter concentrations of A9PEO are much lower (ratios < 1) than in samples taken upstream (see Fig. 6.4.3). For NP this phenomenon is also... 

The presence of surfactants and their biodegradation products in different environmental compartments can invoke a negative effect on the biota. The ecotoxicity of surfactants to aquatic life has been summarised in the scientific literature [1—5]. Nevertheless, some information is still lacking in relation to the aquatic toxicity of surfactants, especially knowledge regarding the toxicity of the degradation products, the effect of surfactants on marine species, the ecotoxicity of mixtures of chemical compounds with surfactants, the relationship between toxicity and chemical residue and the effect of surfactant presence in specific environmental compartments (water, particulate matter, pore-water, sediment). 

Impurities in propane can include water, particulates and foreign matter, and residue which includes dissolved components that are left behind when propane is evaporated. Propane residue can come directly from the refinery or gas processing plant where propane is produced, but more commonly it is picked up as propane is distributed. Sources of the residue include pipelines and tanks that contained gasoline or diesel fuel and that have not been cleaned thoroughly. Propane residue is primarily higher hydrocarbons but may include mercaptan (odorizer) and other materials soluble in hydrocarbons. 

It takes a lot more than just connecting an IR instrument to a pipe to make the instrument into a process analyzer. The system not only has to be constructed correctly and be capable of flawless operation 24 hours a day, but it also has to be packaged correctly, and be able to access the stream correctly and without any interference from process-related disturbances such as bubbles, water, particulates, etc. Finally, the data acquired from the instrument has to be collected and converted into a meaningful form and then transmitted to the process computer, where the information is used to assess the quality of the product and to report any deviations in the production. Beyond that point, the process computer, typically not the process analyzer, handles any decisions and control issues. There are a few exceptions where robotics are integrated with the analyzer, and good vs. bad product quality are assessed at the point of measurement. The use of... 

Shaw (1994) looked at the effect of pH on the formation of particulate Fe and P04 in samples with and without humics. In the presence of humics, practically all of the added Fe and P04 across the pH range remained in the dissolved state. In clear waters, particulates formed at pH >5 at low ionic strength and at pH >7 at high ionic strength. Humics therefore maintain both elements in dissolved form at circumneutral pH, but at more acidic pH, the association with the DOM may not be necessary to maintain Fe and P04 in dissolved form. However, the speciation of the dissolved forms of Fe and P04 in these two scenarios would differ substantially.

Answers to these questions have been developed slowly in comparison to rapid advances in our knowledge of air particulates based on studies completed in the late 1960 s. This is partly a result of superior sampling devices for size and chemical characterization of air particulates, and partly a result of the more heterogeneous nature of water particulates. The size spectrum of particulates in water extends from colloidal humic substances 1 nm in size, to large aggregates such as fecal pellets or marine snow with sizes up to 10" m. The distribution of shapes, densities, surface chemical properties, and chemical composition may vary widely with size. Some fractions of the size spectrum may be living, and all particulates are subject to diverse physical-chemical and biological processes that can alter size distributions, shape, or chemical composition.
