Description of key information

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The log Kow of the substance is 3.88 and therefore triggers an assessment of potential for bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms. Using the experimentally determined log Kow, the BCF/BAF models contained in EPISuite v4.0 predicted BCFs of 102.3 L/kg wet-wt (maximum, Arnot-Gobas model) and 168.7 L/kg wet-wt (BCF model). The maximum BAF was predicted to be 103.4 L/kg wet-wt (Arnot-Gobas model). Taken together, these estimates suggest that the substance is not bioaccumulative in aquatic organisms.  

To further evaluate potential aquatic bioaccumulation, hepatic metabolism of the substance was examined by measuring the clearance rate for the substance in freshly isolated rainbow trout hepatocytes (see CSR Section 5.1.1 Toxicokinetics - Non-human information). The results indicate that the substance is rapidly metabolized in trout hepatocytes and are consistent with predicted weight-normalized biotransformation half-life in fish of 0.2 days (Arnot-Gobas model). The weight of evidence, including rapid in vivo metabolism, and low predicted BCF, BAF and biotransformation half-life values, supports the conclusion that the substance exhibits a low potential for bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms.
