By applying weight of evidence approach to the test substance difluoroacetic acid, the endpoint value was found to NOEC = 106.73 mg/L at 72 Hrs & LC50 at 4141.50 mg/L in a 96 hrs. at 72 hrs. study on the basis of growth effect. The BCF value of difluoroacetic acid reported was not >= 500 as well as the substance was found to be rapidly degradable
