The LRBPOP model has been developed to calculate the long-term fate of α-, β-, and γ-hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) in the lower reach of Liaohe River basin, a typically agricultural environment in Liaoning Province, China. For this purpose, seasonally existent crop compartment, time-variant emission r...
