GETS (Gill Exchange of Toxic Substances), A Simulation Model for Dynamic Bioaccumulation of Nonpolar Organics by Gill Exchange: A User's Guide

摘要

A Fortran program that estimates the absorption and depuration of a chemical across fish gills is described. The program is based on a set of diffusion and forced convection differential equations. Gill morphometric parameters are computed by the program via its own internal database. The database spans approximately 20 species. The program requires that the user input 12 relatively easily obtainable parameters.
