Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Additional information
Relatively little information was found pertaining specifically to the bioaccumulation of dichlorodifluoromethane. Neely et al. (1974) have shown that bioaccumulation is directly related to the octanol/water partition coefficient (P) of the compound. The experimentally determined log octanol/water partition coefficient (log Low) of dichlorodifluoromethane is reported to be 2.16 (Hansch et al. 1975) indicating that dichlorodifluoromethane is not particularly lipophilic and that bioaccumulation in organisms will be limited under conditions of constant exposure. Evidence that dichlorodifluoromethane does not significantly bioaccumulate in organisms was given in the paper by Howard et al (1975). The fact that dichlorodifluoromethane has a high vapour pressure (566.6 kPa at 20°C), and consequently is very volatile, actively excludes persistence 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.
