Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The estimated bioconcentration factor (BCF) for 2-(2-chloroethoxy)ethanol is 3.2 which does not exceed the bioconcentration threshold of 1000. Thus it is concluded that 2-(2-chloroethoxy)ethanol is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain because it does not exceed the BCF criteria.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- BCF (aquatic species):
- 3.2
Additional information
Bioaccumulation is the process by which the chemical concentration in an aquatic organism achieves a level that exceeds that in water as a result of chemical uptake through all possible routes of exposure. The relationship between Bioaccumulation and Bioconcentration is that,chemicals that have potential to bioconcentrate also have potential to bioaccumulate.Bioaccumulation is closely related to bioconcentration factor (BCF)

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.
