▪摘要 对植物、土壤、动物和人体组织中有机污染物化合物的广泛观察促使人们研究更准确地描述区域、大陆和全球尺度上的化学迁移。在过去几十年里，评估人类和生态系统暴露在多种环境介质中的污染物的努力一直在不断发展。在这篇综述中，我们总结了多媒体质量平衡方法在污染物去向和暴露评估中的发展和演变，并举例说明了多媒体评估中使用的一些计算。描述了构成麦凯类型质量平衡隔室模型基础的概念，并讨论了使用多媒体模型来量化人体暴露的持续努力。一系列不同复杂性的案例研究被用来说明选定的多媒体方法的能力和局限性。我们展望未来，考虑当前在多领域的挑战和机遇。
▪ Abstract Widespread observations of organic pollutant compounds in vegetation, soil, animals, and human tissue have motivated research on more accurate characterizations of chemical transport over regional, continental, and global scales. Efforts to assess human and ecosystem exposure to contaminants from multiple environmental media have been evolving over the last several decades. In this review, we summarize the development and evolution of the multimedia mass-balance approach to pollutant fate and exposure evaluation and illustrate some of the calculations used in multimedia assessments. The concepts that form the foundation of Mackay-type mass-balance compartment models are described, and the ongoing efforts to use multimedia models to quantify human exposures are discussed. A series of case studies of varying complexity are used to illustrate capabilities and limitations of selected multimedia approaches. We look to the future and consider current challenges and opportunities in the field of multi...
