+\title{Estimation of the transpiration stream concentration factor}
+\usage{
+TSCF(log_Kow, method = c("briggs82", "dettenmaier09"))
+}
+\arguments{
+\item{log_Kow}{The decadic logarithm of the octanol-water partition constant}
+
+\item{method}{Short name of the estimation method.}
+}
+\description{
+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.
+}
+\details{
+The Dettenmaier equation is given to show that other views on the subject exist.
