OECD SIDS (2001):

Measured bioconcentration factors (BCF) determined for fish (Cyprinus carpio) according to OECD guideline 305 C, were in the range of 7.0 - 22.3. 1-Chloro-2-nitrobenzene concentrations of 0.25 and 0.025 mg/L had been tested. Thus no significant potential for bioaccumulation of 1-chloro-2-nitrobenzene in aquatic organisms is indicated (MITI 1992).
