#' Determine the SSLRC mobility classification for a chemical substance from its Koc
#'
#' This implements the method specified in the UK data requirements handbook and was
#' checked against the spreadsheet published on the CRD website
#'
#' @param Koc The sorption coefficient normalised to organic carbon in L/kg
#' @return A list containing the classification and the percentage of the
#' compound transported per 10 mm drain water
#' @references HSE's Chemicals Regulation Division (CRD) Active substance
#' PECsw calculations (for UK specific authorisation requests)
