Abstract
MASAS is a computer simulation program for the evaluation of the dynamic behavior of anthropogenic organic micropollutants in aquatic systems. It allows a user to construct models of successively increasing complexity, and to build system and compound libraries. Transformation and transport processes are described at different levels of resolution, based on the available data for the system and the compound. Empirical and theoretical functions are included in the program to approximate unknown process parameters. The program is being implemented as a user friendly tool for the Apple Macintosh personal computer in Modula-2.
