This page provides links to sources of information on the fate of contaminants in the environment that are in addition to USGS Toxic Substances Hydrology Program research. The links are intended to be of a non-commercial nature, offering an unbiased presentation of facts. Web sites or directories for vendors, consultants, and advocacy groups are not included as a general rule. The constantly changing nature of the Internet precludes guaranteeing a strict adherence to the above policy. In most cases, requests for links to be added to this page will not be responded to due to lack of resources.
