In this module you learned about contaminant distribution between air-water, organic-aquatic and organic acid/base-aquatic phases. For the module discussion, pose a question that you have about one of the topics.

Use this as an opportunity to extend your knowledge or to clarify a concept. You will be assessed on a) how well you are able to put the question in context, b) your answer to this question, and c) your replies to others.

• Make an Initial Post: Provide the question and provide a satisfactory answer citing relevant literature. This should not be a simple yes or no question. Initial posts should be at least 300 words.
