To define the most useful properties for the characterization of the geochemical reactivity of estuarine particulates, especially the surface properties of binding sites, and to recommend methods to measure these properties.

To recommend appropriate experimental and theoretical research needed to further develop models of particle/water interactions able to predict the behaviour of trace metals in different regimes.
