Abstract

Guidelines for selection and application of fate and exposure models were developed as an instrument for the user to detect the most appropriate model for his/her special problem.Criteria for evaluating the quality and performance of implemented computer programmes and the underlying theory were defined.A model data bank for exposure models was developed which involves selection and quality characteristics; it was tested with ten randomly selected exposure models.
