+#' 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).
