Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
No risk of bioaccumulation for this substance.
Executive summary:

Taking into consideration the measured octanol/water partition coefficients of 0.34 and 0.40 no

potential for bioaccumulation/bioconcentration and geoaccumulation can be identified. Assuming a

log Kow of 0.40 a calculated bioconcentration factor of 3.162 (log BCF = 0.5) results there from

(EPIWIN 2000).
