Student thesis: Doctoral Thesis › PhD

Abstract

The aim of this work is to build on the foundations of our understanding of how hazardous
compounds interact with the environment by applying atomistic simulation
methods to determine the physiochemical factors controlling the distribution of pollutants
and their metabolites in aqueous and terrestrial environments and then applying
this to identifying sustainable ways of controlling their transport.
