OECD: Guidance Document On The Use Of Multimedia Models For Estimating Overall Environmental Persistance And Long-Range Transport (2004)
Description:
This Guidance Document is addressed to those who are involved in risk assessment and management
of chemicals called POPs (persistent organic pollutants) or PBTs (persistent and bio-accumulating toxics).
It is about using multimedia models, i.e. generic evaluative models that can calculate overall environmental
persistence (Pov) and potential for long-range transport (LTRP) covering multiple compartments such as
air, water, sediment and soil: what models you can use to identify and characterize POPs/PBTs, what data to use, and how to use model calculations.
Why this Tool/Guidance?
This document provides useful information on POPs or PBT assessment models.
