Abstract: Background: The Integrated Exposure Uptake Biokinetic Model for Lead in Children (IEUBK model) was developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to support assessments of health risks to children from exposures to lead (Pb).Objective: This stud...
Dynamic prediction of effective runoff sediment particle size for improved assessment of erosion mitigation efficiency with vegetative filter strips.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): The Science of the total environment [Sci Total Environ] 2023 Jan 20; Vol. 857 (Pt 3), pp. 159572. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Oct 20.
Abstract: The most widely implemented mitigation measure to reduce transfer of surface runoff pesticides and other pollutants to surface water bodies are vegetative filter strips (VFS). The most commonly used dynamic model for quantifying the reduction by VFS of...
