Phthalates and nonylphenols in Roskilde Fjord : a field study and mathematical modelling of transport and fate in water and sediment : the aquatic environment 
English 
The aim of the study has been to investigate the occurrence, sources, transport and fate of nonylphenols and phthalates in the aquatic environment of Roskilde Fjord. It was further intended to find the temporal as well as the spatial variation of these xenobiotics in the fjord and stream water. Further, to investigate nonylphenols and phthalates in sediment in the fjord including a sediment core in the southern part, expected to yield clues regarding the historical variation of the concentration of xenobiotics, as well as some streams and lakes. Finally, an important aim was to make a mass balance for the fjord system, including sources, transport and the mechanisms of elimination, and to make a mathematical model describing the fate of the substances in the fjord system.
