Usage
PEC_sw_sed(PEC_sw, percentage = 100, method = "percentage", sediment_depth = 5, water_depth = 30, sediment_density = 1.3, PEC_sed_units = c("µg/kg", "mg/kg"))
Arguments
- PEC_sw
- Numeric vector or matrix of surface water concentrations in µg/L for
which the corresponding sediment concentration is to be estimated
- percentage
- The percentage in sediment, used for the percentage method
- method
- The method used for the calculation
- sediment_depth
- Depth of the sediment layer
- water_depth
- Depth of the water body in cm
- sediment_density
- The density of the sediment in L/kg (equivalent to
g/cm3)
- PEC_sed_units
- The units of the estimated sediment PEC value
Value
The predicted concentration in sediment
Description
The method 'percentage' is equivalent to what is used in the CRD spreadsheet
PEC calculator
Examples
PEC_sw_sed(PEC_sw_drift(100, distances = 1), percentage = 50)
