- Details on results:
- Concentrations in fish tissue:
High level treatment: 0.79 to 1.94 mg/kg, ww
Low level treatment: 0.21 to 1.05 mg/kg, ww - Executive summary:
The BCFs in the test with 15 µg BPA/L ranged from <= 20 to 67 L/kg. The BCFs in the test with 150 µg/L ranged from 5.1 to 13.3 L/kg.
BPA has a low potential for bioaccumulation in fish.
