Clocaleff:
The concentration of Triclosan in WWTP effluent (µg/L)
Focsusp:
= 0.1 kg/kg (European Commission 2003)
KOC:
Partition coefficient organic carbon-water (L/kg)
= 47,454 L/kg (Reiss et al. 2001)
SUSPwater:: Concentration
of suspended matter in the river (mg/L)
= 15 mg/L (European Commission 2003)
F:
The dilution factor for the effluent in the mixing zone
= 2 to 10 for watercourses (Tørsløv et al. 2002)
