The criteria for bioaccumulation and toxicity appear to be focused only on aquatic ecosystems and do not address the terrestrial compartment which is particularly relevant for pesticides and potentially relevant for PBT considerations.
The mechanisms of degradation (transformation or depletion) and dilution of pharmaceutical residues that may be released into aquatic or terrestrial environmental compartments are described.
Soils constitute a primordial compartment of terrestrial ecosystems.
Finally, there is no consideration of toxicity for terrestrial species, despite the fact that it is to this environmental compartment that most pesticides are routinely applied.
The celestial dome was divided into 16 compartments inhabited by the various divinities: major gods to the east, astral and terrestrial divine beings to the south, infernal and inauspicious beings to the west, and the most powerful and mysterious gods of destiny to the north.
WEAP21 models the terrestrial water cycle to represent physical hydrology using a one-dimensional, two-storage soil compartment water balance.
Unfortunately, the present triggers provide a mix of individual compartments; toxicity and bioaccumulation are only addressed for the aquatic environment while persistence incorporates addition triggers for the terrestrial environment.
They hold compartments within compartments.
Atmospheric and terrestrial turbulence.
