The MERLIN-Expo Soil Model
The Soil Model dynamically simulates the distribution of organic contaminants and metals in abiotic media (i.e. soil particles, pore water) of soil systems, with a description of their depth profile in the root zone.

Potato_model_documentation_thumbnailThe MERLIN-Expo Mammals Model
The Mammal model is used to estimate the time-dependent accumulation of organic chemicals and metals in mammals meat and milk and to calculate the concentration of chemicals accumulated in meat and milk produced for human food (e.g. beef meat, sheep meat, cow or goat milk).
