Mammal tissue residues, mercury

Description of the model. The Farris et al. model consists of nine lumped compartments, each of which represent a major site of mercury accumulation, elimination, or effect in mammals. The compartment labeled carcass is a residual compartment and consists of all tissues and organs not specifically represented by the other eight compartments in the model. A flow diagram of the model is shown in Figure 2-5. The interdepartmental mass transport parameters used in the model are shown in Table 2-6.
