The objective of many contaminant transport studies is to compute not only contaminant concentrations or flux rates at various locations in the environment, but also the impact of these contaminants on specific receptors (e.g., humans, wildlife, flora).
GoldSim can calculate impacts in terms of health risks, doses; or hazard indexes.
The GoldSim Contaminant Transport module contains a special element referred to as a Receptor to facilitate this. The topics below describes the specification and use of Receptors in GoldSim.
