dynamiCROP Model

Model Summary and Quick User Guide
arrow   dynamiCROP is a dynamic plant uptake model for quantification human exposure and subsequent health impacts caused by the direct application of pesticides onto food crops and subsequent ingestion intake. The modelling framework is based on a crop-specific multi-compartment system and analyzes the mass evolution in the different compartments over time.
While the model domain is aspatial, any assessment can be performed in a spatial differentiated way according to the underlying input parameters, such as application pattern, crop production area, and population, or via integration of a parametric version into a spatial modeling framework. (see dynamiCROP publications)		 dynamiCROP structure
Quick user guide: 1) Get dynamiCROP model and substance files (get dynamiCROP). 2) Open model file and follow instructions given in sheet 'version', lines 25-30. 3) Modify or enter substance data in sheet 'data.substances' and/or plant and system data in sheet 'data.system' and/or exposure and effect data in sheet 'data.other'. 4) Run in sheet 'run' for specific crop selected in cell 'D8' either single substance selected in cell 'D4' or multiple substances selected in cells 'D4' (first substance) and 'D6' (last substance). 5) Results are stored for all runs in sheet 'results', line 13 and below. Detailed matrix results and plots are provided for the latest substance run in sheet 'run'.
