    <p>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 (PPR panel 2012), only temperature correction using the
Arrhenius equation is performed.</p>
<p>Total soil and porewater PEC values for the scenarios as defined in the EFSA
guidance (2015, p. 13) can easily be calculated.</p>
    
    <h2 class="hasAnchor" id="note"><a class="anchor" href="#note"></a>Note</h2>

    <p>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'.</p>
