In industrialized countries, soil and groundwater contamination by harmful substances is a contemporary problem. Therefore, minimizing health risks and impacts on the environment, caused by the contamination, is urgently needed, also for fitting the land use requirements and to ensure a permissible use for future generations.
In the last years, research was successfully performed and has increased our knowledge about the behaviour of organic chemicals in the soil and groundwater system and the factors that control their behaviour. This knowledge is of primary importance to (i) predict the fate and potential risk, (ii) ensure public safety and environmental protection, and (iii) enable rational decision-making for the development of management strategies, suitable tools and effective operations.
Here, the state of the art regarding the main mechanisms, processes and factors governing the fate and behaviour of organic contaminants in the soilground water system is summarized on the basis of a literature review in the frame of IOPSIM project, under the umbrella of the SNOWMAN ERA-NET .
In this area, an enormous amount of literature exists, mostly focusing on pesticides, because annually large quantities are applied in agriculture. One task within this project was dedicated to the identification and selection of substances which potentially will gain relevance in the interaction of the soil –ground/surface-water system focused on veterinary antibiotics and energetic compounds. The scope is to provide useful and precise information for endusers and support their work in the field of organic pollutants in the environment and to stimulate the development of new techniques for a sustainable management.
