A Level I simulation is of the equilibrium distribution of a fixed quantity of conserved (ie. Non-reacting) chemical, in a closed environment at equilibrium, with no degrading reactions, no advective processes, and no intermedia transport processes (eg no wet deposition. , or sedimentation). Emission is the Medium receiving the unimportant because the Chemical is assumed to Become Instantaneously Distributed to an equilibrium condition. Physical-Chemical properties are used to quantify a Chemical's behavior in an evaluative Environment. Three types of chemicals are treated in this model: chemicals that partition into all media (Type 1), involatile chemicals (Type 2), and chemicals with zero, or near-zero, solubility (Type 3). The Level I Model Assumes a Simple, evaluative, Closed Environment with user-defined Volumes and densities for the following homogeneous Environmental Media (or compartments): Air, Water, soil, Sediment, suspended Sediment, Fish and aerosols. This Model is useful for. establishing the general features of a new or existing chemical's behaviour. A Level I calculation gives the general impression of the likely media into which a chemical will tend to partition and an indication of relative concentrations in each medium. The results of changes in Chemical and Environmental properties May be explored. Features of the Level I Program: Provides a Database of chemicals and Chemical properties. Permits temporary Additions / changes of chemicals and their properties to a Simulation. Permits Permanent Additions, changes and Deletions. of chemicals and their properties to the Chemical Database. Supplies default values for all input Fields which May be easily changed. These values are regarded as Typical, as discussed in the text referred to earlier. Provides context-sensitive Help. Displays and Prints the Level I Model calculations, as performed by the Program. Allows the Printing of Simulation tables and the Summary diagram. Allows the. Program results as a Comma Separated Value to be Saved (CSV) file.
