Abstract
This is the first of a two-part series describing the Sorption kinetics of hydrophobic organic chemicals. This paper discusses the use of first-order kinetic compartment models in environmental studies, of subjects such as bioaccumulation and sorption. A comprehensive mathematical description and model calculations are presented. Differences between these models and the pharmacokinetic compartment models will be indicated, emphasis being given to the use of the former in sorption studies.
