In Chile, 60% of its population are exposed to levels of Particulate Matter (PM) above international standards. Air Pollution is causing 4,000 premature deaths per year, including health costs over US$8 billion.

The System Dynamics Causal Loop Diagram developed herein shows an initial study of the dynamics among the variables that influences the accumulation of PM in the air, in particular the case of Temuco, in the South of Chile. In Temuco, 97% of the PM inventories comes from the combustion of low quality firewood, which in turns is being burned due to its low price and cultural habits/tradition.
Simple mass balance model for lakes, based on the Vollenweider equation:  dMw/dt = Min - sMw - Mout  The model was first used in the 1960s to determine the phosphorus concentration in lakes and reservoirs, for eutrophication assessment.

Simple mass balance model for lakes based on the Vollenweider equation:

dMw/dt = Min - sMw + pMs - Mout

The model was first used in the 1960s to determine the phosphorus concentration in lakes and reservoirs for eutrophication assessment.

This version considers mercury, and adds diagenesis, using an extra state variable (mercury in the sediment), and incorporates desorption processes that release mercury trapped in the sediment back to the water column.

The temporal dynamics of the model simulate the typical development of pollution in time.

1. Low loading, low Hg concentration in lake
2. High loading, increasing Hg concentration in lake
3. Desorption rate is low, Hg in sediment increases
4. Measures implemented for source control, loading reduces
5. Hg in lake gradually decreases, but below a certain point, desorption increases, and lake Hg concentration does not improve
6. Recovery only occurs when the secondary load in the sediment is strongly reduced.

Model prognozuje wpływ dystrybucji subwencji w ramach WPR na strukturę obszarową i intensywność produkcji gospodarstw rolnych w Polsce. Struktura obszarowa gospodarstw decyduje o stopniu mozaikowatości krajobrazu wiejskiego a intensywność produkcji przekłada się na bilans węgla i azotu użytków rolny
Model prognozuje wpływ dystrybucji subwencji w ramach WPR na strukturę obszarową i intensywność produkcji gospodarstw rolnych w Polsce. Struktura obszarowa gospodarstw decyduje o stopniu mozaikowatości krajobrazu wiejskiego a intensywność produkcji przekłada się na bilans węgla i azotu użytków rolnych. W oparciu o te dane szacowane są popularne wskaźniki jakości środowiska: zmiany zawartości materii organicznej w glebach, odpływ azotu do wód gruntowych i liczebność pospolitych ptaków krajobrazu wiejskiego.

Model opracowano w ramach Programu Wieloletniego IUNG-PIB w zadaniu 2.1 i jest obecnie rozwijany w zadaniu 1.9.
