C. Regional, 100,000 km2 environment as used in the EQC model of Mackay et al.<br />

(1996b)<br />

Volume (m3 ) Area (m2 ) Composition<br />

Air 1014 100 ¥ 109 Aerosols 2000 – (2 ¥ 10 –11 vol frn)<br />

Water 2 ¥ 1011 10 ¥ 109 Soil 9 ¥ 109 90 ¥ 109 2% OC<br />

Sediment 108 10 ¥ 109 4% OC<br />

Suspended sediment 106 – 20% OC<br />

Fish 2 ¥ 105 – 5% lipid<br />

For details of other properties see Mackay et al. 1996b.<br />

of 10 cm; water and bottom sediment to a depth of 3 cm, and vegetation. Obtain<br />

data on average temperature, rain rate, water flows, and wind velocity, and calculate<br />

air and water residence times. Attempt to obtain information on typical concentrations<br />

of aerosols, suspended solids in water, and the organic carbon contents of soils,<br />

bottom, and suspended sediments. Prepare a summary table of these data similar to<br />

Table 4.2.<br />

These basic environmental data can be used in subsequent assessments of the<br />

fate of chemicals in this region.<br />
