title: A convenient model and program for the assessment of abiotic degradation of chemicals in natural waters.
abstract: A convenient model for the estimation and comparison of rates of various degradation processes of chemicals in natural waters is described. The estimates are determined by combining physicochemical properties of the chemicals with properties of natural waters and solar photon irradiancies.
