Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
In view of the n-octanol/water partition coefficient (log Pow = 3.433) of 1,2 -dichlorobenzene, bioaccumulation is to be expected. A study conducted according to a method similar to OECD Guideline 305C resulted in a maximum BCF of 260 in terms of the whole organism. Based on this measured BCF, 1,2-dichlorobenzene has only a low potential for bioaccumulation and does not meet the criterion on bioaccumulation in the PBT assessment.
Further publications are available for fish, invertebrates, algae and cyanobacteria. The highest BCF in terms of lipid content was found in the Blue crab to be 28840. For the terrestrial foodchain, a BCF of 29.6 was calculated for earthworms.
However, the maximum BCF value for whole fish of 260 has been selected as the key value for bioaccumulation in the aquatic environment.
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.
