Abstract

The attenuation factor (AF) is subjected to a preliminary assessment of model error by comparing the simple index method with the more conceptually rigorous pesticide root zone model (PRZM). The model error associated with the AF assumptions of a homogeneous soil profile and time-invariant recharge rates are tested. Both the AF and PRZM models are used to rank the relative mobility of ten organic chemicals for conditions in Hawaii. The results presented here indicate that AF compares well to PRZM.
