VELMA 6PPD/6PPD-Q contaminant parameters and values.

Parameter name Type Value Description
directKocSpecification Model True Set = True when the value of Koc is known for a contaminant (check the EPA CompTox dashboard). When Koc is unknown, set = False and use alternate VELMA parameters and methods described in McKane et al. (2022a) to estimate Koc
Koc CompTox Parameter (6PPD) 11,000 L/kg Contaminant soil adsorption coefficient
setMolarSolubilityCoefficient CompTox Parameter (6PPD) 0.000158 mol/L Molar solubility coefficient (mol/L)
setMolarMass CompTox Parameter (6PPD-Q) 268.404 g/mol Molar mass (g/mol). Value is used to internally convert mol to g
setChemMaxDecay CompTox Parameter (6PPD) 0.2,207,475 Maximum contaminant decay rate (fraction per day)
logKow Hu et al., (Seattle, 2022a) Parameter (6PPD-Q) 2.745 Octanol-water partition coefficient (unitless)
