Lookup Limits

Description

Looks up the long or short-term water quality limits for BC. If the limits depend on on the pH, total hardness (CaCO3), total chloride or the concentration of methyl mercury and site specific values are not provided then the dependent limits are returned as missing values.

Usage

lookup_limits(
  ph = NULL,
  hardness = NULL,
  chloride = NULL,
  methyl_mercury = NULL,
  term = "long",
  use = "Freshwater Life"
)

Arguments

ph	A number indicating the pH in pH units at the site of interest.
hardness	A number indicating the total hardness (CaCO3) in mg/L at the site of interest.
chloride	A number indicating the total chloride concentration in mg/L at the site of interest.
methyl_mercury	A number indicating the total concentration of methyl mercury in ug/L at the site of interest.
term	A string indicating whether to lookup the "long" or "short"-term limits.
use	A string indicating the Use.
