Growth in the numbers of organic chemicals during recent decades
has been extraordinary. Most are complex compounds that are
released directly and/or indirectly to the surrounding environment.
A view is emerging in relation to environmental protection and
hazardous substance management that (1) some organic chemicals
and/or organic leachates from solid waste materials and
contaminated sediment/soil sites are of such extreme environmental
concern that all use should be highly controlled including
isolation for disposal; and (2) most hazardous substances are of
sufficient social value that their continual use, production and
disposal are justified. For these chemicals their types, sources,
fate, behavior, effects and remediation at solid- aqueous phase
interfaces must be fully assessed and understood. This assessment
and understanding are essential for society to accept risks of
adverse ecological or human health effects.
