Validation of TOXFATE, a contaminant FATE model for a large lake system (Lake Ontario) / Efram Halfon and Barry G. Oliver. : En13-5/85-60E-PDF
"A toxic contaminant FATE model, TOXFATE, has been used to predict the fate of four chlorobenzenes which have entered Lake Ontario from the Niagara River since 1909, they are: 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (l,2,4-TeCB), 1,2,3,4-tetrachlorobenzene (1,2,3,4-TeCB), penta- (QCB) and hexachlorobenzene (HCB). TOXFATE predicts concentrations in the water column and bottom sediments as well as volatilization, burial and transport rates. The mathematical model has been validated by comparing computed compartment masses of contaminants and process losses to those estimated from field data"--Exec. summary.
