persistence of pollutants

persistence of pollutants
Persistence refers to the length of time a pollutant remains in the environment. This depends on how quickly it breaks down (degrades), which is largely a function of its chemical composition and the environmental conditions. Persistence is usually expressed as the ""half life"" (T1/2) of a pollutant.
