+\arguments{
+\item{DT50}{Half-life of the chemical in soil. Should be a field
+half-life according to Gustafson (1989). However, leaching to the sub-soil
+can not completely be excluded in field dissipation experiments and Gustafson
+did not refer to any normalisation procedure, but says the field study should
+be conducted under use conditions.}
+
+\item{Koc}{The sorption constant normalised to organic carbon. Gustafson
+does not mention the nonlinearity of the sorption constant commonly
+found and usually described by Freundlich sorption, therefore it is 
+unclear at which reference concentration the Koc should be observed
+(and if the reference concentration would be in soil or in porewater).}
+
+\item{chent}{If a chent is given with appropriate information present in its
+chyaml field, this information is used, with defaults specified below.}
+
+\item{lab_field}{Should laboratory or field half-lives be used? This
+defaults to lab in this implementation, in order to avoid
+double-accounting for mobility. If comparability with the original GUS
+values given by Gustafson (1989) is desired, non-normalised first-order
+field half-lives obtained under actual use conditions should be used.}
+
+\item{degradation_value}{Which of the available degradation values should 
+be used?}
+
+\item{sorption_value}{Which of the available sorption values should be used?
+Defaults to Kfoc as this is what is generally available from the European
+pesticide peer review process. These values generally use a reference
+concentration of 1 mg/L in porewater, that means they would be expected to
+be Koc values at a concentration of 1 mg/L in the water phase.}

+\description{
+The groundwater ubiquity score GUS is calculated according to
+the following equation
+\deqn{GUS = \log_10 DT50_{soil} (4 - \log_10 K_{oc}}{GUS = log10 DT50soil * (4 - log10 Koc)}
