Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 results indicate a low level of incorporation of TFA by natural microbial communities and thus their potential to serve as a point for TFA to enter into the food web. 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Two publications are used as weight of evidence approach.

The results indicate a low level of incorporation of TFA by natural microbial communities and thus their potential to serve as a point for TFA to enter into the food web. Overall incorporation of radioactive TFA in aquatic organisms spanning a range of trophic levels (microbial communities, oligochaetes, macro-invertebrates, Callitriche sp., Lemna sp., and Impatiens capensis) was very low (low ppb range for microbial communities and low ppm range for oligochaetes and jewelweed).
