MEPAS ® Multimedia Environmental Pollutant Assessment System

A premier, award-winning software system integrating source term effluent calculations, fate/transport modelling in multiple contaminated media, and human health risk computations. Developed and owned by Battelle Northwest - Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.

Chamberlain, et al. 1993 a MEPAS-based Sensitivity Analysis of coupled fate/transport & human health risk computations with special discussion of nonlinear risk responses to changes in soil-water partition coefficient Kd (groundwater pathway), extreme-value distribution behavior induced by certain input combinations, some MEPAS-specific modeling results, and stability analysis of sensitivity results.   Also avail. from NTIS (NTIS #DE94000903)
