There are several types of environmental fate models, including:
Compartment Models: These models divide the environment into distinct compartments (e.g., air, water, soil) and simulate the movement and transformation of chemicals within and between these compartments. Multimedia Models: These models consider the interaction between different environmental media and provide a holistic view of chemical behavior and fate. Transport Models: These models focus on the movement of chemicals through specific media, such as water or air, taking into account advection, dispersion, and diffusion processes.
