FREQUENCY ANALYSIS OF PESTICIDE CONCENTRATIONS FOR RISK ASSESSMENT (FRANCO MODEL)

Citation:

Olsen, A., S. Wise, AND R. Ambrose. FREQUENCY ANALYSIS OF PESTICIDE CONCENTRATIONS FOR RISK ASSESSMENT (FRANCO MODEL). U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/3-82/044.

Description:

This report describes a method for statistically characterizing the occurrence and duration of pesticide concentrations in surface waters receiving runoff from agricultural lands. The characterization bridges the gap between simulated instream pesticide modeling and the risk assessment information available from laboratory studies on aquatic biota. A computer program FRANCO is given to complete the frequency analysis of concentration characterization. The documentation is part of the Chemical Migration and Risk Assessment Methodology.
