Contaminant Transport Models

Contaminant transport models are scientific tools used to predict how pollutants move through soil, water, and air. They analyze factors like how contaminants spread, dilute, or react over time and distance. These models help assess environmental risks and inform cleanup efforts by simulating scenarios—such as a spill or leak—to see where and how pollutants might travel. Essentially, they provide a detailed forecast of contaminant behavior in the environment, supporting decision-making for protection and remediation.
