Makes some public data for environmental risk assessment of plant protection products accessible in R. Includes definitions of substances in terms of well-defined chemical entities, if applicable. Also includes source references including page numbers, most often referring to secondary sources, as the original reports are usually unpublished. Uses standardised scientific names for biological species and includes physicochemical as well as ecotoxicological data. Data sources are mainly conclusions from the European pesticide risk assessment peer review process published by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and Renewal Assessment Reports (RARs), also published by EFSA. Note that the use of the data included in this package for registration purposes may be restricted by regulatory data protection, also known as data exclusivity rules, as detailed for example in article 59 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

A good point to start is the vignette “Get Started” in the online documentation.
Installation
You can install derappp from the Agroscope R-Universe using the command
install.packages("derappp",
repos = c(
"https://agroscope-ch.r-universe.dev",
"https://cran.r-project.org"))This will also install the dependencies chents and srppphist that are not published on CRAN.
In case you wonder how to install a version <= 1.0.11 of the DiagrammeR package (we list this as “Suggests:” in the DESCRIPTION), with the pak installed it is as easy as
pak::pak("rich-iannone/DiagrammeR@v1.0.11")Concept and scope
Please have a look a the concept for details.
Contribute
The easiest way to contribute data, in case you would like to do so, is probably to prepare excel sheets derived from those that can be found e.g. under data_generation/06_soil_sorption/ or data_generation/10_aquatic_toxicity/ and to upload them by navigating to the directory on github, and use the button Add file and then select Upload files.
