Several factors influence the fate of a chemical in the environment, including:
Chemical Properties: The intrinsic properties of a substance, such as its solubility, volatility, stability, and reactivity, play a significant role in its fate. Environmental Conditions: Temperature, pH, humidity, and other environmental conditions can affect how chemicals degrade or persist. Biological Activity:Microbial degradation and other biological processes can transform chemicals, affecting their toxicity and mobility.
