This project is aimed at obtaining a better understanding than                  now exists of the role played by natural colloids that are                      present in interstitial water of sediments in the transport of                  organic chemical pollutants of natural waters.  This knowledge is               expected to permit the construction of improved chemical                        transport models that can be used to predict the fate of organic                chemicals that tend to become associated with sediments in lakes                and streams.  The specific chemical compounds being addressed in                this research are the polychlorinated biphenyls and the                         polyaromatic hydrocarbons.  The expected improvements in chemical               transport models will assist in clarifying assumptions made                     regarding the accessibility of the target chemicals to biological               uptake and biodegradation.
