Reference

Endpoint:

bioaccumulation in aquatic species: fish

Type of information:

(Q)SAR

Adequacy of study:

key study

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification

Justification for type of information:

QSAR prediction from a well-known and acknowledged tool. See below under ''attached background material section' for methodology and QPRF.

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

other: REACH guidance on QSARs: Chapter R.6. QSARs and grouping of chemicals.

Principles of method if other than guideline:

The Bioconcentration Factor (BCF) was calculated for the test substance using BCFBAF v3.02 program of EPI Suite v 4.11. Since the test substance is an UVCB, the BCF values were estimated for individual constituents using SMILES codes as the input parameter.

Key result

BCF

Value:

63.33 L/kg

Basis:

whole body w.w.

Calculation basis:

other: BCF regression-based methodology

Remarks on result:

other: Low Bioaccumulation potential (Log BCF: 1.80)

Key result

Type:

BCF

Value:

47.66 L/kg

Basis:

whole body w.w.

Calculation basis:

other: Arnot-Gobas BCFBAF method

Remarks on result:

other: Low Bioaccumulation potential (Log BCF: 47.66)

Predicted value:

The estimated BCF values for the different constituents using the regression-based equation and Arnot-Gobas methods were as follows:

Conclusions:

The BCF values for test substance were predicted using regression-based method and Arnot-Gobas based method of the BCFBAF v.3.02 program (EPI SuiteTM v4.11), to be 63.33 L/Kg w/w (Log BCF= 1.80) and 47.66 L/Kg w/w (Log BCF= 1.68), respectively.

Executive summary:

The Bioaccumulation Factor of the test substance, C12-18 and C18-unsatd. MEA, was estimated using both the regression based and the Arnot-Gobas BCF-BAF sub models of the BCFBAF v.3.02 program (EPI SuiteTM v4.11). Using the regression-based equation for non-ionic compounds, the predicted BCF values for the constituents were estimated to be in the range of 3.23 to 273.3 L/kg ww. Similarly, using the Arnot-Gobas BAF-BCF sub-model, which uses mitigating factors (e.g., growth dilution and metabolic biotransformation’s), the predicted upper trophic BCF value for the constituents was predicted to range from 1.58 to 217.4 L/kg ww (US EPA, 2019). As all constituents were within the descriptor domain criteria, the predictions are considered to be accurate with low uncertainty. Further, given that the constituents are structurally very similar and vary only in the carbon chain length, a weighted average value, which considers the percentage of the constituent in the substance, has been considered to dampen the errors in predictions (if any). Therefore, the weighted average BCF value was calculated as 63.33 L/Kg w/w (Log BCF= 1.80) and 47.66 L/Kg w/w (Log BCF= 1.68), using regression based and Arnot-gobas-based methods, respectively. All the constituents were within the specified descriptor and structural domain criteria. Therefore, the BCF prediction for the test substance using the BCFBAF model of EPI Suite TM can be considered to be reliable with high to moderate confidence. Overall, considering either the individual BCF predictions for the constituents or the weighted average values, the test substance is expected to have a low bioaccumulation potential.
