Abstract
Mathematical simulation models of fate and transport of chemicals have been identified by researchers and regulators as potentially valuable tools for improving the understanding of the environmental behavior of chemicals which may be released to the environment as a consequence of routine (i.e., normal manufacturing, use, disposal) and non-routine (e.g., accidental spillage) events. In this context, CHEMFRANCE, a regional fugacity model level III, which calculates the environmental distribution of organic chemicals in 12 defined regions of France, or France as a whole, has been designed. The aim of this study is to show that CHEMFRANCE provides valuable simulation results for understanding the environmental fate behavior of atrazine.
