Environmental Fate - effect on the environment. Usually, the result, or 'what happens to the environment'.

what happens to the compound
i.e. what happens to the compound ultimately, i.e. is it degraded, is it biodegradeable, or does it remain in its original form, where it ends up (in the soil, absorbed to other materials) etc.

here\'s another link:
Environmental Fate: Where a substance ends up after it is released into the environment. Environmental fate depends on many factors, including transport (e.g., wind, runoff) and transformation processes (e.g., degradation).
