Fate and Transport of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals in Soil-Water Systems
Goal #3: Identify influence of soil structure on the mobility of 17b-estradiol in soil.
Objectives
- Use miscible-displacement column experiments to identify the transport mechanism in undisturbed soil profiles.
Particle size distribution and organic matter content was a major factor contributing to the fate and transport of these hormones
