- Details on test conditions:
- Bioconcentration was investigated in a 32-day exposure to all concentrations(0.126, 0.293, 0.927, mg/L(measured)) of C12 LAS. During the eight-day exposure, bluegill sunfish, fathead minnow, channel catfish, Corbicula, Elimia, and Hyalella were exposed to a nominal concentration of 0.3 mg/L which is approximately 10-20% of the C12LAS LC50 values (this study). This portion of the study was conducted between days 7 and 15 (days 49 and 53 channel catfish) of the ESF exposure, when 30 organisms per species (60 for Hyalella) were transferred from the control stream, where they were acclimating to stream flow, into the appropriate exposure stream or control. On exposure days 0, 1, 2, 4, and 8, five individuals of each species (10 for Hyalella) were removed, measured for length (except Hyalella and Elimia) and wet weight, and frozen for LAS and dry weight analyses. Organisms were also removed from the test on day 32, the end of the toxicity phase of the study. These organisms were analyzed for LAS to understand bioconcentration and body burdens after a longer exposure to a wider range of C12LAS concentrations.
- Nominal and measured concentrations:
- 0.126, 0.293, 0.927 mg/L (measured)
- Details on estimation of bioconcentration:
- Bioconcentration factors (BCF) were based on the ratio of measured body burdens to measured water concentrations. Effect of isomer distribution and exposure concentration on BCF values were determined using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Differences in BCF values among species were determined by ANCOVA with the Tukey- Kramer multiple comparison of least squares mean test. LC50 values were determined using the Binomial or Probit methods. LBB50 (body burden associated with 50% mortality) were estimated from the BCF times LC50 based on the exposure concentration closest to the LC50 value. Probit (Finney 1971) (mortality data) or the nonlinear iterative technique of Bruce and Versteeg (1992) (continuous data) were used to determine the EC20 and EBB20 values; where EC20 refers to the effective concentration in water that reduces the biological endpoint 20% relative to control levels and EBB20 refers to the body burden concentration at which the biological endpoint was reduced 20%. Single species distributional parameters were estimated as described in Versteeg et al. (1999) using a log-logistic distribution. All statistical analyses used SAS release 6.12 (SAS Institute, Cary, NC, USA).

Description of key information
An estimated BCF is 70.79 by BCFWIN Model based on log Kow =4.78 (US EPA, 2011). Bioconcentrations of total C12-LAS in fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas), channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), andamphipod (Hyalella azteca) were investigated during 32 days. At 32 days, total C12-LAS bioconcentration factors (BCFs) for the three species ranged from 36 to 119 (Versteeg and Rawlings, 2003).These experimental and estimated BCF values suggest that Calcium dodecylbenzenesulphonate has a low potential for bioaccumulation.

Additional information
An estimated BCF is 70.79 by BCFWIN Model based on log Kow =4.78 (US EPA, 2011). Bioconcentrations of total C12-LAS in fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas), channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), andamphipod (Hyalella azteca) were investigated during 32 days. At 32 days, total C12-LAS bioconcentration factors (BCFs) for the three species ranged from 36 to 119 (Versteeg and Rawlings, 2003).These experimental and estimated BCF values suggest that Calcium dodecylbenzenesulphonate
has a low potential for bioaccumulation.
This substance has a limited potential to bioaccumulate (based on log Kow used by BCF estimates: 4.78, and predicted bioconcentration factors, log BCF = 1.850 (EPIWIN/BCF Program).
The estimated BCF of 70.79 L/kg wet-wt was measured by calculation from EPI SuiteTM v4.1 Program.
These values would suggest very low bioaccumulation potential.
