Multimedia modeling of environmental transport: trichloroethylene test case

CalTOX, a multimedia total exposure model for hazardous-waste sites; Part 1, Executive summary

“…These documents along with academic reviews and the response with the MCM model (Cohen and Ryan, 1985) and more recently with the spatial multimedia compartment model (SMCM) model (Cohen et al, 1990), which allows for nonuniformity in some compartments. Another multimedia screening model, called GEOTOX (McKone and Layton, 1986;McKone, et al, 1987), was one of the earliest multimedia models to explicitly address human exposure.…”

Dynamic modeling of chemical fate and transport in multimedia environments at watershed scale—II: Trichloroethylene test case

“…These comparisons focused on (1) compartmental distribution, (2) spatial variation, and (3) temporal trend of TCE concentration in the Connecticut River Basin. The simulated annual mean concentrations of TCE in air, plant, root-zone soil, surface water, sediment, and fish were compared to reported measurements (Pearson and McConnell, 1975) and predictions from other models (Cohen and Ryan, 1985;Mackay and Paterson, 1991;Coulibaly et al, 2004b). To minimize the impact of local air emission and background concentration in the TCE distribution, relative concentrations of TCE were used in the comparison to show the general distribution patterns of TCE in the environment.…”
