The depth of injection was 0.68 m and the rate of injection was 330 kg MeBr ha(super -1). MeBr concentrations in the soil air were determined for a two month period after the injection. Although these data were too sparse to completely describe the transport and transformation of MeBr shortly after the injection, they serve as calibration points for model optimization. Presented material will include comparisons between measured and modeled MeBr concentrations in the soil profile. Exposure data will also be presented as concentration-time (CT) curves with depth. |
