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

BCF (42-day, carp, steady state, 4.1% lipid content): 9.33 L/kg

Additional information

An experimental study (Arnot & Gobas 2006, 42 day exposure, steady state) resulted in a BCF of 9.33 L/kg in carp (4.1% lipid content). A further 72 -hour study (Goodrich et al. 1991) with rainbow trout resulted in a BCF of 3.78 L/kg in carcas. In addition to the experimental results, a QSAR using the BCFBAF (v3.01) module implemented in EPISuite 4.11 resulted in a BCF of 52.6 L/kg. Hence there was a good agreement between the experimental values and the QSAR.

For the risk assessment, a BCF of 9.33 L/kg will be used since this study is considered to be scientifically most relevant study. The use of the more conservative QSAR result would not have had a different outcome for e.g. the PBT assessment.
