Programs to accomplish this calculation are available on the website<br />

www.trentu.ca/envmodel. The “Level I” calculation (Figure 5.6) is the simplest<br />

multimedia environmental calculation possible. The EQC model contains a Level I<br />

calculation for a regional environment as well as other, more advanced, calculations.<br />

To assist the reader to understand the nature of this calculation, two “fugacity<br />

forms” (Figures 5.7 and 5.8) are included at the end of this chapter. They contain a<br />

worked example for a hypothetical chemical. Blank forms are provided in the<br />

Appendix that may be reproduced for use in other examples. The results of the<br />

computer calculations should be consistent with these hand calculations.<br />
