Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

The aquatic BCF was found to be less than 0.5 L/kg ww (CSCL Japan, 1992). 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

BCF (aquatic species):
0.5 L/kg ww

Additional information

Regarding aquatic bioaccumulation of triethylamine experimental results as well as estimated data are available. Cyprinus carpio was used as test organism in a study conducted according to OECD guideline 305 C. The total exposure time was 42 days, whereby a bioaccumulation factor less than 0.5 L/kg ww was reported for the substance (CSCL Japan, 1992). An estimated value for the bioaccumulation factor (BCF) in aquatic species, based on the substance specific logKow is given as 7.45 (Lyman et al., 1982). Based on the available information any relevant accumulation of the test substance in organisms can be ruled out.
