 Dear Netters,
 Has anyone heard of any of the following codes:
    PRZM, GLEAMS, EXAMS, and EPIC
 They are presumably used for environmental modeling to
 assess the fate of pollutants in the environment.
 I am curious as to the models that underlie these codes.
 For example, what kinetic, thermodynamic, and transport
 models are used to determine how a compound partitions
 between the water, ground, and atmosphere?
 On a related note, what is the level of maturity of the field
 of environmental modeling (probably macroscopic)
 versus molecular modeling (microscopic)?
 Finally, where can one obtain these codes and on which platforms
 do they run?
 Thanks in advance for your help.
 Bill
