FIG. 7. Probability that the lysimeter study generates a maximum annual leaching concentration below 0.1 µg L–1 as a function of the 80th percentile leaching concentration in the field calculated for application every 3 yr. Points are averages of at least three Monte Carlo simulations (of 500 runs each), and bars indicate standard deviations. The 80th percentile leaching concentration is the 80th percentile of a series of 20 3-yr average flux concentrations. Closed symbols are for an average organic-matter/water distribution coefficient, KOM, of 35 L kg–1 and average DegT50 values ranging from 20 to 100 d; open symbols are for average KOM values ranging from 5 to 35 L kg–1 and an average DegT50 of 20 d.
