Interactions between Dissolved Organic Matter and Organic Contaminants in Aquatic Environment

摘要

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in aquatic environments is a complex mixture which is well known to play an important role in the fate of inorganic and organic pollutants. Indeed, DOM could bind these compounds modifying their distribution in aquatic environment, but also their bioavailability, biodegradation and subsequently their toxicity towards aquatic organisms (1).
