Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

1.

BCF

0.8 – 2.2 L/kg

Non bioaccumulative

Bioconcentration factor (24-336 hr exposure) for carp exposed to 14.7 and 0.67 µg l-1 under continuous flow-through conditions, 0.8 and 2.2, respectively. Whole-body excretion rate constant 0.21 hr-1.This low value of BCF of 3-chloroaniline indicates its non bioaccumulative nature as the BCF factor is less than the bio-concentration threshold of 2000.

Experimental data for CAS : 108-42-9

2.

BCF

11.5

Non bioaccumulative

The Bioconcentration factor (BCF) for zebrafish exposed to 3-chloroaniline (0.0002 mg/L) under static conditions was reported as 11.5 suggesting that 3-chloroaniline is non bioaccumulative in nature as the BCF factor is less than the bio-concentration threshold of 2000.

Experimental data for CAS : 108-42-9

3.

BCF

8.1

Non bioaccumulative

The estimated bioconcentration factor (BCF) for 3-Chloroaniline is 8.1,which does not exceeds the bioconcentration threshold of 2000.Thus, it is concluded that 3-Chloroaniline is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain because it does not exceed the BCF criteria. 

Predicted data for CAS : 108-42-9

4.

BCF

8.08

Non bioaccumulative

The estimated bioconcentration factor (BCF) for 3-Chloroaniline is 8.08,which does not exceeds the bioconcentration threshold of 2000.Thus, it is concluded that 3-Chloroaniline is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain because it does not exceed the BCF criteria. 

Predicted data for CAS : 108-42-9

 

Based on the studies summarized in the above table for target substance 3-Chloroaniline,the bioconcentration value (BCF) was found to vary between 0.8 to 11.5. This low value of BCF of 3-Chloroaniline indicates its non bioaccumulative nature as the BCF factor is less than the bio-concentration threshold of 2000.
