Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

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 limited documentation / justification
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Calculated using BCFBAF (v3.01) of EPI Suite (v4.11)
GLP compliance:
no
Type:
BCF
Value:
64.77 L/kg
Remarks on result:
other: Log BCF from regression-based method
Type:
BCF
Value:
78.76 dimensionless
Remarks on result:
other: Log BCF Arnot-Gobas method

The mean logKow of 3.25 is used for calculation.

Conclusions:
A bioconcentration factor (BCF) of 64.77 L/kg is calculated from the mean octanol-water partition coefficient of 3.25 using the BCFBAF program of EPI-Suite software.
Executive summary:

A bioconcentration factor (BCF) of 64.77 L/kg is calculated from the mean octanol-water partition coefficient of 3.25 using the BCFBAF program of EPI-Suite software. The estimation methodology is based on the chemical structure of an organic compound and its log octanol-water partition coefficient (Kow).

Bioconcentration of the hydrolysis product phenol was assessed in a European Union Risk Assessment Report (European Chemicals Bureau, 2006). From an experimentally determined bioconcentration factor in fish of 17.5 it can be stated that phenol has only a low bioaccumulation potential.
