Abstract
The observed pattern of mirex in Lake Ontario's sediments is consistent with what is known about the Lake's long-term circulation. A reasonable simulation of the mirex pattern was obtained using a steady-state circulation model coupled to a simple water quality model. The equivalent 10-year mirex accumulation on the lake bottom from these numerical models is similar to the observed mirex pattern.Keywords
