This is reimplementation of Step 1 of the FOCUS Step 1 and 2 calculator version 3.2, authored by Michael Klein. Note that results for multiple applications should be compared to the corresponding results for a single application. At current, this is not done automatically in this implementation.

PEC_sw_focus(parent, rate, n = 1, i = NA, met = NULL, f_drift = NA,
  f_rd = 0.1, scenario = FOCUS_Step_12_scenarios$names)

Arguments

parent

A list containing substance specific parameters, e.g. conveniently generated by chent_focus_sw.

rate

The application rate in g/ha. Overriden when applications are given explicitly

n

The number of applications

i

The application interval

met

A list containing metabolite specific parameters. e.g. conveniently generated by chent_focus_sw. If not NULL, the PEC is calculated for this compound, not the parent.

f_drift

The fraction of the application rate reaching the waterbody via drift. If NA, this is derived from the scenario name and the number of applications via the drift data defined by the FOCUS_Step_12_scenarios

f_rd

The fraction of the amount applied reaching the waterbody via runoff/drainage. At Step 1, it is assumed to be 10 parent or a metabolite

scenario

The name of the scenario. Must be one of the scenario names given in FOCUS_Step_12_scenarios

Note

The formulas for input to the waterbody via runoff/drainage of the parent and subsequent formation of the metabolite in water is not documented in the model description coming with the calculator. As one would expect, this appears to be (as we get the same results) calculated by multiplying the application rate with the molar weight correction and the formation fraction in water/sediment systems.

Step 2 is not implemented.
