Abstract
The main parameters influencing the speciation and partitioning of priority organic contaminants in estuaries are discussed with particular consideration being given to the association of contaminants with colloidal material. Partitioning and speciation are factors that influence the persistence, transport, bioavailability and toxicity of organic contaminants in natural waters. However, most data on aquatic partitioning processes are based on the extrapolation of soil data and there is a need for more information on the partitioning of priority pollutants in estuaries in order that their transport, fate and toxicity may be adequately assessed.
