Modeling of Behavior of Organic Pollutants in Aquatic and Related Ecosystems

Approaches related to modeling chemical compound migrations ill the environmental are discussed. Models related to both closed and open systems in steady-state or non steady-state conditions arc characterized. Methods of building, the models and the review of the most important types of models with adequate examples. as well as the results possible to achieve using these groups of models arc presented. The review also contains the division of models with respect to the way of presenting chemical transport, the complication level and the range of modeled area. Risk evaluation, abiotic and biotic approaches are discussed as well. Special attention was put oil the complexity of abiotic models based oil the fugacity concept.
