Environmental Fate 1
Environmental Fate 1 : (a) Where a substance ends up after it is released into the environment. Environmental fate depends on many factors, including transport (e.g., wind, runoff) and transformation processes (e.g., degradation). [ED, 2000: Environmental Scorecard Glossary]; (b) The destiny of a chemical or biological pollutant after release into the environment. Environmental fate involves temporal and spatial considerations of transport, transfer, storage, and transformation.
