If an interval is given, an #' attempt is made at calculating a long term maximum concentration using #' the concepts layed out in the PPR panel opinion (EFSA PPR panel 2012 #' and in the EFSA guidance on PEC soil calculations (EFSA, 2015, 2017). #' #' 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 (EFSA 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 (2017, p. 14/15) can easily be calculated. #' @note While time weighted average (TWA) concentrations given in the examples #' from the EFSA guidance from 2015 (p. 80) are be reproduced, this is not #' true for the TWA concentrations given for the same example in the EFSA guidance #' from 2017 (p. 92). #' @note According to the EFSA guidance (EFSA, 2017, p. 43), leaching should be #' taken into account for the EFSA 2017 scenarios, using the evaluation depth #' (here mixing depth) as the depth of the layer from which leaching takes #' place. However, as the amount leaching below the evaluation depth #' (often 5 cm) will partly be mixed back during tillage, the default in this function #' is to use the tillage depth for the calculation of the leaching rate. #' @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 #' degradation 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 leaching_depth EFSA (2017) uses the mixing depth (ecotoxicological #' evaluation depth) to calculate leaching for annual crops where tillage #' takes place. By default, losses from the layer down to the tillage #' depth are taken into account in this implementation. #' @param cultivation Does mechanical cultivation in the sense of EFSA (2017) #' take place, i.e. twice a year to a depth of 5 cm? Ignored for scenarios #' other than EFSA_2017 #' @param crop Ignored for scenarios other than EFSA_2017. Only annual crops #' are supported when these scenarios are used. Only crops with a single cropping #' cycle per year are currently supported. #' @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 leaching Should leaching be taken into account? The default is FALSE, #' except when the EFSA_2017 scenarios 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?
