Abstract
Based on the model of transforming of Cd in the water, in the detritus and in the sediment, an improved box model of the multiple medium transforming of Cd in water environment was developed, including another two state variables, the content of Cd in the zooplankton and the phytoplankton. With this model, the influence to Cd cycle by adsorbent process and exogenous input was studied and a method of estimating environmental capacity of Cd was pointed out.
