Additional information

Data from QSAR calculation

Information about this endpoint can be gathered from BCF/BAF calculation using BCFBAF v3.01. The estimated BCF value indicates a low bioaccumulation in organisms. When including biotransformation rate constants a BCF of 0.89 - 6.322 and a BAF of 0.89 - 6.323 L/kg resulted (Arnot-Gobas estimate, including biotransformation, upper trophic). Even though the C9iso and C10 tetraester components are outside the applicability domain of the model they can be used as supporting indication that the potential of bioaccumulation is low. The model training set is only consisting of substances with log Pow values of 0.31 - 8.70. But it supports the tendency that substances with high log Pow values (> 5) have a lower potential for bioconcentration as summarized in the ECHA Guidance R.11 and they are not expected to meet the B/vB criterion (ECHA, 2012). The C5 component is within the training set of the model and can thus be used without restrictions. This (Q)SAR resulted in a BCF of 6.322 L/kg which clearly shows a low bioaccumulation potential.
