OECD SERIES ON TESTING AND ASSESSMENT NO. 45 |
| Abstract This Guidance Document, developed jointly with UNEP, is addressed to those who are involved in risk assessment and management of POPs or PBTs. It is about using multimedia models, i.e. generic evaluative models that can calculate overall environmental persistence and potential for long-range transport, covering multiple compartments such as air, water, sediment and soil: what models you can use to identify and characterise POPs/PBTs, what data to use, and how to use model calculations. As well as being useful in chemical assessment in national, regional and international context, this Guidance Document will provide a scientific basis for the identification of POPs under the Stockholm Convention.
