Abstract
Guidelines for selection and application of fate and exposure models were developed as an instrument for the user to detect the most appropriate model for his/her special problem.
Criteria for evaluating the quality and performance of implemented computer programmes and the underlying theory were defined.
A model data bank for exposure models was developed which involves selection and quality characteristics; it was tested with ten randomly selected exposure models.
