Environmental Engineering Reference
In-Depth Information
validated only for a limited number of compounds and no full quantitative sensitivity
analysis studies have been performed. As it is expected that in the near future a large
number of products needs to be evaluated, further refinement and validation of these
models in realistic field studies is recommended.
