Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of
d-limonene was estimated by two QSAR models:
- BCFBAF v3.01 module of EPI Suite (v4.1) - Regression-based estimate
- BCF-BAF v3.01 module of EPI Suite (v4.1) (including biotransformation)
- Arnot-Gobas lower trophic level
The prediction including biotransformation rate estimates is the most appropriate for monoterpene substances, such as d-limonene.
The estimated fish BCF of d-limonene
is 690.1 L/kg (geometric mean of results of the three QSAR models): it
is the most conservative value obtained with both models according to
ECHA guidance (chapter R.7.c, 2017) recommendation on evaluation of non
testing data.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- BCF (aquatic species):
- 917.8 L/kg ww
Additional information
The estimated fish BCF of d-limonene is defined as the most conservative value otained with both models according to ECHA guidance (chapter R.7.c, 2017) recommendation on evaluation of non testing data.
This conservative value is considered as the endpoint defining the substance potential for bioaccumulation and can be used as input parameter for environmental risk assessment.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
