In addition, there is substantial critical assessment of the techniques employed for the sampling, size fractionation and characterisation of colloids and particles. Chemical, physical and biological processes and interactions involving colloids are described, and particular attention is paid to quantitative approaches that take account of particle heterogeneity and polydispersity.  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents critical reviews of the state-of-the-art knowledge of environmental colloids\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCritical assessment of techniques employed for the sampling, size fractionation and characterisation of colloids and particles are given\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTheoretical and experimental aspects of the methods as well as the required developments and possible recommendations are discussed\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEach chapter gives a brief introduction general enough for the non-specialist\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWritten by a internationally recognized group of contributors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003eProfessor Kevin J.
