OECD Pov and LRTP Screening Tool

The OECD Pov and LRTP Screening Tool has been developed with the aim of using multimedia models for estimating overall persistence (Pov) and long-range transport potential (LRTP) of organic chemicals at a screening level, in the context of PBTs/POPs assessments. The Tool requires estimated degradation half-lives in soil, water and air, and partition coefficients between air and water and between octanol and water as chemical-specific input parameters.  From these inputs the Tool calculates metrics of Pov and LRTP from a multimedia chemical fate model, and provides a graphical presentation of the results.
