Estimate biological half-life

Source: R/fcr_add_variables.R
add_DT50.Rd

Estimation is based on the FCR prepared Monte Carlo table

Usage

add_DT50(p, sub_info)

Arguments

p

Parameter table created with oneYear_matrix()

sub_info

The table containing additional substance information loaded with read_fcr_input()

Value

The Parameter table extended by a column for the bio concentration factor.

Details

The estimation is based on the K_d value of a substance according to the technical guidance document on risk assessment Part II (table 8). If there is a distribution of K_d values, the median K_d is used for the estimation. In this function there is no distinction between biodegradbility classes. All substances are assumend to be inherently biodegradable to encourage the user of further half-life research.
