There is one qualifying type of an EXF: "Aquatic Ecological Effects". The output may be placed in a comma-separated file with an EXF extension. A module section can contain the appropriate dataset portion of the psuedo code for the qualifying type.

The following outline is a description of the basic information provided in an EXF. An example EXF is included after the outline. Comparing the line-by-line description in the outline to the example should clarify and help locate data contained in the EXF. Lines beginning with ';' are descriptive comments only and will not appear in the actual EXF.

Aquatic Ecological Effects

This output type describes the effects based on an acute duration, continuous criterion and effects curve. The data set also provides the probability of equaling or exceeding a concentration based on the input concentration curve.
