Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Accumulation in organisms is not expected.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Due to the low log Pow (-0.18) a potential for bioaccumulation of glutaraldehyde is unlikely. The low potential of glutaraldehyde for bioaccumulation was confirmed by calculation method of the EpiWin program. In fact, the BCF value was calculated on the basis of the calculated log Pow value of -0.18 (SRC KowWin v1.67), and a log BCF value of 0.5 (BCFBAF v3.00) was obtained. The calculated BCF value indicates that glutaraldehyde does not significantly accumulate in organisms. In conclusion, glutaraldehyde will not tend to bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms.
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.
