Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Details on estimation of bioconcentration:
BASIS FOR CALCULATION OF BCF
- Estimation software: QSAR developed by this study, using measured BCF values generated in flow-through studies in fresh-water, 32 days uptake period, in fathead minnow
- Result based on measured log Pow of: 0.41 (note that this value is lower than the applicability domain of the QSAR, which ranges between 1 and 6; therefore, a value of 1 is used in a worst-case estimation of the BCF).

Results and discussion

Bioaccumulation factor
Type:
BCF
Value:
1.41 L/kg
Details on results:
Validity of the model:
1. Defined Endpoint: Bioconcentration factor in fish;
2. Unambiguous algorithm: Linear regression QSAR; logBCF = 0.85logKow -0.70
3. Applicability domain: applicable to chemicals with logKow values between 1 and 6. The structural domain includes different organic groups, a.o. phenols, amines, benzenes, PCBs, benzenes, lindane, atrazine, phthalates, ethers, epoxides and DDTs.
4. Statistical characteristics: N=55, coefficient of determination (R2) = 0.897
Adequacy of prediction: When using a logKow value of 1, the substance Furaldehyde falls within the applicability domain described above and therefore, the predicted value can be considered reliable.
