Ali Mansoori, Neil Sturchio University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL USA This section covers studies published during the calendar year 2004 on the fate of environmental pollutants in soils, surface water and groundwaters. Studies related to water quality and sources of pollution by environmental pollutants as well as reaction kinetics and modeling are reviewed in detail. Also included in the coverage of present review is research on pollutants such as nutrients, pathogens, xenobiotics, radionuclides and nanoparticles. NUTRIENTS Nitrate and Nitrogen Surface and Subsurface Environments Jiao et al. (2004) evaluated the effects of agricultural practices on dissolved N and P leaching from topsoil to subsurface soil after crop harvest for groundwater quality management. Dissolved N and P loads were found not to be affected by FATE OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTANTS Water Environment Federation / Water Environment Research, Volume 77, Number 6 , Pages 2576-2658, 2005 ( * ).
