Estimation of the transpiration stream concentration factor

The FOCUS groundwater guidance (FOCUS 2014, p. 41) states that a reliable measured log Kow for neutral pH must be available in order to apply the Briggs equation. It is not clarified when it can be regarded reliable, but the equation is stated to be produced for non-ionic compounds, suggesting that the compound should not be ionogenic (weak acid/base) or ionic.
