Applying Multimedia Modeling to Karst Systems: Comparing MEPAS, MMSOILS, and RESRAD

James L. Regens, Karen R. Obenshain, Curtis Travis, Martin Clauberg

Abstract

The use of multimedia models has become a popular tool to estimate exposures and assess risks. Computer-based multimedia models compute environmental transport of contaminants in air, surface water, groundwater, and soil and bioaccumulation in plants and animals across varying timeframes. This study examines the applicability of three state-of-the-art multimedia models (MEPAS, RESRAD, and MMSOILS) to karst topography using actual site data obtained from a remedial investigation conducted at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee in 1995 and default parameters suggested by the individual model developers.
