this research project is devised to produce a convenient and                    reliable tool for estimating the behavior of organic pollutants                 in the environment.  The objectives of the research are:  (1) to                develop state-of-the-art knowledge of quantitative structure                    activity relationship (QSAR) research, (2) to construct a QSAR                  which predicts soil sorption of organic compounds for various                   soil types, and (3) to design an expert system which can be used                by environment engineers to  predict the behavior of organic                    pollutants in the environment.                                                  After completion of the literature search, a QSAR soil sorption                 relationship for organic compounds which also includes soil                     descriptors such as porosity, permeability, gradation analysis                  and organic content will be determined.  Connectivity indices                   will be calculated for the compounds and any relationship between               the indices, soil parameters, and soil sorption will be                         investigated.  All pertinent QSAR relationships will be organized               in a computerized expert system so that the information already                 accumulated will be easily accessed.  The expert system will                    provide information using chemical structure and/or chemical name               as the only input.
