Application of System Dynamics technique to simulate the fate of persistent organic pollutants in soils

► We construct a model to simulate the behavior of pop's in contaminated soils. ► We use the technique of System Dynamics to solve the model. ► We obtain the contribution of each pathway to remove the lindane in soil. ► Infiltration and biochemical degradation pathways are more decisive. ► The model is highly sensitive to the half-life of lindane, highly uncertain value.
