Solids budget is a relevant topic in toxics modeling because their particulate fraction , i.e. sorbed onto solids, follows solids finale fate in the water body. This paper implements a dimensionless transient model of solids budget in a lake that the author first proposed in a previous paper and explores the problem of temporal response of the system, using the field data of over 300 lakes worldwide. Particularly, the paper verifies the application of a simplified solution pointing out different behaviors of the considered lakes and concludes that this solution could be widely applied. This application depends mostly on the lake depth. Also, the time it takes for the lake to reach 95% of its ultimate recovery level is characterized for the same data set

Abstract
Solids budget is a relevant topic in toxics modeling because their particulate fraction , i.e. sorbed onto solids, follows solids finale fate in the water body. This paper implements a dimensionless transient model of solids budget in a lake that the author first proposed in a previous paper and explores the problem of temporal response of the system, using the field data of over 300 lakes worldwide. Particularly, the paper verifies the application of a simplified solution pointing out different behaviors of the considered lakes and concludes that this solution could be widely applied. This application depends mostly on the lake depth. Also, the time it takes for the lake to reach 95% of its ultimate recovery level is characterized for the same data setI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
