Remarks:

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Level III fugacity model is a direct adaptation of the peer-reviewed methodology and programming approach developed and reported by Mackay et al. (1996a,b).  See: Mackay, D., Di Guardo, A., Paterson, S., Kicsi, G., and Cowan, C.E. (1996a) Assessing the Fate of New and Existing Chemicals: A Five-Stage Process, Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Vol. 15, pp. 1618-1626.
