“…Many known environmental pollutants can attach to and move with colloids, a process referred to as colloid-facilitated transport, which has been identified as one of the most important mechanisms responsible for the mobilization of reactive heavy metals in soils (Barton & Karathanasis, 2003;Gao et al, 2011;Grolimund & Borkovec, 2005;Kretzschmar & Schafer, 2005). Other contaminants transported by colloidfacilitated transport include radionuclides from mines (Artinger et al, 2002;Malkovsky et al, 2015;Severino, Cvetkovic, & Coppola, 2007), heavy metals (Chekli et al, 2016;Ouyang, Shinde, Mansell, & Harris, 1996), organic compounds such as pesticides and herbicides from agricultural land (Barton & Karathanasis, 2003), or excess nutrients such as phosphorous from farmland (de Jonge, Moldrup, Rubaek, Schelde, & Djurhuus, 2004). Biocolloids (i.e., colloidal-sized microbes and pathogens) and many of the pollutants transported with colloids listed above are known to pose a threat to public and environmental health (e.g., eutrophication from excess nutrients, poisoning by heavy metals, disease outbreaks from waterborne pathogens; Haygarth et al, 2006;Heathwaite, Haygarth, Matthews, Preedy, & Butler, 2005;Kouznetsov et al, 2007;Ren & Packman, 2005).…”

“…As underground aquifers have complex structures and groundwater flow rates tend to be slow, groundwater pollution is difficult to find and mitigate. It was previously thought that pollutants in aquifers could only be transported via liquids and gases, but it is now understood that pollutants can be adsorbed by small particles carried in water; thus, the presence of such particles promotes the diffusion of pollutants [1][2][3]. Biological particles (e.g., bacteria, protozoa, and viruses) in aquifers can affect water safety and human health; these are primarily sourced from septic tanks, underground pipeline leaks, sewage leakage, and sludge [4][5][6].…”
