ABSTRACT

In order to assess the environmental risks of POPs contaminated areas, we construct a mathematical model that describes spreading of environmental pollution by persistent organic pollutants from areas around old chemical storehouses. Absolute and relative ecological risks of this pollution are calculated. We test our model in real conditions along with the well-known CalTOX model.
