Calculate predicted environmental concentrations in surface water due to drift
Source:R/PEC_sw_drift.R
PEC_sw_drift.RdThis is a basic, vectorised form of a simple calculation of a contaminant concentration in surface water based on complete, instantaneous mixing with input via spray drift.
Usage
PEC_sw_drift(
rate,
applications = 1,
water_depth = as_units("30 cm"),
drift_percentages = NULL,
drift_data = c("JKI", "RF"),
crop_group_JKI = c("Ackerbau", "Obstbau frueh", "Obstbau spaet", "Weinbau frueh",
"Weinbau spaet", "Hopfenbau", "Flaechenkulturen > 900 l/ha", "Gleisanlagen"),
crop_group_RF = c("arable", "hops", "vines, late", "vines, early", "fruit, late",
"fruit, early", "aerial"),
distances = c(1, 5, 10, 20),
formula = c("Rautmann", "FOCUS"),
water_width = as_units("100 cm"),
side_angle = 90,
rate_units = "g/ha",
PEC_units = "µg/L"
)Arguments
- rate
Application rate in units specified below, or with units defined via the
unitspackage.- applications
Number of applications for selection of drift percentile
- water_depth
Depth of the water body in cm
- drift_percentages
Percentage drift values for which to calculate PECsw. Overrides 'drift_data' and 'distances' if not NULL.
- drift_data
Source of drift percentage data. If 'JKI', the drift_data_JKI included in the package is used. If 'RF', the Rautmann drift data are calculated either in the original form or integrated over the width of the water body, depending on the 'formula' argument.
- crop_group_JKI
When using the 'JKI' drift data, one of the German names as used in drift_parameters_focus. Will only be used if drift_data is 'JKI'.
- crop_group_RF
One of the crop groups as used in drift_parameters_focus
- distances
The distances in m for which to get PEC values
- formula
By default, the original Rautmann formula is used. If you specify "FOCUS", mean drift input over the width of the water body is calculated as described in Chapter 5.4.5 of the FOCUS surface water guidance
- water_width
Width of the water body in cm
- side_angle
The angle of the side of the water relative to the bottom which is assumed to be horizontal, in degrees. The SYNOPS model assumes 45 degrees here.
- rate_units
Defaults to g/ha. For backwards compatibility, only used if the specified rate does not have units::units].
- PEC_units
Requested units for the calculated PEC. Only µg/L currently supported
Details
It is recommened to specify the arguments rate, water_depth and
water_width using units::units from the units package.
