#' Calculate predicted environmental concentrations in soil
#'
#' This is a basic calculation of a contaminant concentration in bulk soil
#' based on complete, instantaneous mixing. If an interval is given, an
#' attempt is made at calculating a long term maximum concentration using
#' the concepts layed out for example in the PPR panel opinion (EFSA 2012).
#'
#' This assumes that the complete load to soil during the time specified by
#' 'interval' (typically 365 days) is dosed at once. As in the PPR panel
#' opinion cited below (PPR panel 2012), only temperature correction using the
#' Arrhenius equation is performed.
#'
#' Total soil and porewater PEC values for the scenarios as defined in the EFSA
#' guidance (2015, p. 13) can easily be calculated.
#'
#' @note If temperature information is available in the selected scenarios, as
#' e.g. in the EFSA scenarios, the DT50 for groundwater modelling
#' (destination 'PECgw') is taken from the chent object, otherwise the DT50
#' with destination 'PECsoil'.
#' @importFrom methods is
#' @param rate Application rate in units specified below
#' @param rate_units Defaults to g/ha
#' @param interception The fraction of the application rate that does not reach the soil
#' @param mixing_depth Mixing depth in cm
#' @param interval Period of the deeper mixing, defaults to 365, which is a year if
#' rate units are in days
#' @param n_periods Number of periods to be considered for long term PEC calculations
#' @param PEC_units Requested units for the calculated PEC. Only mg/kg currently supported
#' @param PEC_pw_units Only mg/L currently supported
#' @param tillage_depth Periodic (see interval) deeper mixing in cm
#' @param chent An optional chent object holding substance specific information. Can
#' also be a name for the substance as a character string
#' @param DT50 If specified, overrides soil DT50 endpoints from a chent object
#' If DT50 is not specified here and not available from the chent object, zero
#' degradation is assumed
#' @param Koc If specified, overrides Koc endpoints from a chent object
#' @param Kom Calculated from Koc by default, but can explicitly be specified
#' as Kom here
#' @param t_avg Averaging times for time weighted average concentrations
#' @param scenarios If this is 'default', the DT50 will be used without correction
#' and soil properties as specified in the REACH guidance (R.16, Table
#' R.16-9) are used for porewater PEC calculations. If this is "EFSA_2015",
#' the DT50 is taken to be a modelling half-life at 20°C and pF2 (for when
#' 'chents' is specified, the DegT50 with destination 'PECgw' will be used),
#' and corrected using an Arrhenius activation energy of 65.4 kJ/mol. Also
#' model and scenario adjustment factors from the EFSA guidance are used.
#' @param porewater Should equilibrium porewater concentrations be estimated
#' based on Kom and the organic carbon fraction of the soil instead of total
#' soil concentrations? Based on equation (7) given in the PPR panel opinion
#' (EFSA 2012, p. 24) and the scenarios specified in the EFSA guidance (2015,
#' p. 13).
