In the preceding chapters various aspects of biogeodynamics of pollutants in soils and sediments have been described. Due to continuing immissions from anthropogenic activities different contaminants have accumulated in soils and sediments and become bound to the soil. Changes in environmental conditions may change the binding capacities of soils, resulting in a non-linear, possibly massive, release of these contaminants again leading to polluting loads.
