Determine the SSLRC mobility classification for a chemical substance from its Koc

This implements the method specified in the UK data requirements handbook and was checked against the spreadsheet published on the CRC website

SSLRC_mobility_classification(Koc)

Arguments

Koc

The sorption coefficient normalised to organic carbon in L/kg

Value

A list containing the classification and the percentage of the compound transported per 10 mm drain water
