We present two new software implementations of the BETR Global multimedia contaminant fate model. The model uses steady-state or non-steady-state mass-balance calculations to describe the fate and transport of persistent organic pollutants using a desktop computer. The global environment is described using a database of long-term average monthly conditions on a 15°×15° grid. We demonstrate BETR Global by modeling the global sources, transport, and removal of decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5).
我们提出了 BETR Global 多媒体污染物命运模型的两个新软件实现。该模型使用稳态或非稳态质量平衡计算,通过桌面计算机描述持久性有机污染物的归宿和迁移。全球环境使用长期平均每月条件的数据库来描述,网格大小为 15°×15°。我们通过模拟十甲基环五硅氧烷 (D5) 的全球来源、迁移和去除来展示 BETR Global。
