Aquatic / sediment

Data are not required as the substance is registered under provision of Article 12(1)(c) of REACH.

As the log Kow of isovaleric acid is low (log Kow = 1.7, Sect. 4.7, OXEA, 2010) and the substance is readily biodegradable (Urano, 1986 and Dias 1971), the potential for bioaccumulation of isovaleric acid is low.

In addition, calculated Log BCF and log BAF (upper trophic) values of 0.5 and 0.748 respectively (US EPA EPI Suite v4.10, program component BCFBAF v3.01) indicate a low potential of isovaleric acid for bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms (GUBDH, 2012).
