Emission data are very important to the environmental models. By using these emission data, modelers can run their models to understand the sources, occurrence, and pathways of contaminants and to predict how their input and concentrations in the various environmental compartments may change in the future.
The gridded global annual emissions for alpha-HCH are given in Figure 1 for 1980. Total global alpha-HCH emissions in 1980 are estimated at 184 kt, of which 92.5% is contributed by the use in 1980 and 7.5% by the residues due to use in the previous 15 years.

The total gridded emissions for toxaphene between 1947 and 1999 are given in Figure 4. Total toxaphene emissions are 194 kt between 1947 and 1999, 80% of which is contributed by the use of toxaphene in agriculture, and 20%, by the use on livestock.

Inventories of pesticide residues in agricultural soil are important for some models to predict pesticide volatilization. The toxaphene residues in agricultural soil in the United States at the beginning of 2000 are presented in Figure 5. The total toxaphene residues left in the agricultural soil at the beginning of 2000 are around 29 kt, among which 360 t were emitted in 2000.
