Syracuse Research Corporation (SRC), an independent, not-for-profit research and development organization, in collaboration with the Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) Center of Central New York, have developed a Monte Carlo based multi-media fate model for the Great Lakes Commission under the Great Lakes Atmospheric Deposition Program (GLAD).
Fate Model Goals
- Achieve a greater understanding of the atmospheric transport, degradation, and deposition rates for pollutants of concern.
- Develop rational emission reduction strategies for pollutants released to the Great Lakes.
- Aid risk assessors in evaluating potentially hazardous levels of chemicals in the ecosystem.
