Abstract
The distribution and fate of pollutants in soils, in sediments and in the water phase is highly influenced by sorption processes. Sorbing surfaces and materials can provide a sink for dissolved matter. If the conditions change, desorption may occur and, thus, turn the former sorbent into a new source of pollutants.
