Modelling the environmental fate in the terrestrial environment

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter presents the environmental fate modeling approach for terrestrial environment. The discusses of concentrations in compartments distinguished by land uses and/or covers (such as agricultural soils) and contaminants (terrestrial) plants. Pure models describe relationship between emissions trying to quantitatively answer question “how much a substance ends up where.” Thus, model development set-up may require different subdivisions zones terms parameterization these if one has develop pure or an exposure model. various When assessing indirect human exposures, plants need be considered because they form basis most food chains webs their role primary producers. Reasons distinguishing several plant either parts species include: are exposed processes (especially foliar vs. root uptake, but also attachment (particle-bound gaseous) substances aboveground surfaces), consumption occurs only selected components (e.g., root, leafy, stem corn produces) affected degrees such harvesting, litter fall growth.
