Persistence

 

Where asbestos persists in the environment Problems on a domestic and international level Asbestos' effect based on activity and concentration in the environment. Examples (case studies) of asbestos range of persistence levels
Interaction with environment How the contaminant interacts with the environment Conditions in the environment (Temp., light, etc) which affect bioavailability Results of the domino effect (specific chemical interactions, e.g. solubility and volatility) Cases showing the relative importance of the environmental interactions

 

Transport in the environment How the contaminant moves in the environment Relative importance of different kinds of movement Relative importance of different rates of movement Ranking of different kinds of movement based on importance in contamination
