Description of key information
Additional information
Freitag et al (1985) report a 3 day BCF of 90. This was the highest BCF value for fish identified in the EU RAR for toluene (2003). Data from a non-standard study (Freitag et al. 1985) and the estimated BCF of 42 calculated following the method of Veith et al (1979) recommended in section 4.5.2.1 of the TGD and based on a log kow of 2.73 both indicate that toluene has a low potential to bioaccumulate.
The measured log Kow of 2.73 indicates that toluene does not exceed the screening criteria for bioaccumulation stipulated in ECHA’s Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment - Part C: PBT Assessment (2008). Therefore, toluene is not considered to be bioaccumulative (B) or very bioaccumulative (vB).
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
