Abstract
In recent years, the study of surface and groundwater colloids has gained considerable momentum for a number of reasons. These include the failure of computer models to account correctly for the observed mass transport, the concern of environmental regulating organisations that not all sources of these colloids had been accounted for, and the development of new techniques for the collection and study of very dilute colloid systems.
