Abstract
The FOCUS_TOXSWA model simulates exposure of the
aquatic ecosystem in 10 FOCUS scenarios used in the
registration procedure at EU level. A new feature of version
4.4.2 is the formation of metabolites in water and in
sediment. Recently a proposal has been developed in
cooperation between members of the FOCUS Version Control
group on how to include the formation of metabolites in
water in the 100 ha upstream catchment of the stream
scenarios. The fraction of metabolite formed from the parent
in the catchment is used as upper boundary for the stream.
Calculation of the maximum fraction is based upon the
DegT50 values of parent and of metabolite. Residence times
of the parent in the upstream catchment, during which he
metabolite is formed, are compared to the time needed to
form this maximum fraction and next, the fraction that
enters the stream is calculated. The maximum fraction of
metabolite formed is shown to be independent of the water
temperature in the scenario.
