Kinetics of Contaminant Migration

Kinetics of contaminant migration describes how pollutants move through soil, water, or air over time. It considers the rates at which contaminants spread, react, or break down, influenced by factors like temperature, chemical interactions, and physical properties of the environment. Understanding this helps predict how quickly contamination reaches certain areas or how long it persists, which is essential for designing effective cleanup strategies. Essentially, it’s about studying the speed and behavior of pollutants as they migrate through different mediums.
