Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Bioconcentration of aluminium in fish is a function of the water quality (e.g. pH and total organic carbon). Estimated steady-state bioconcentration factors (BCFs) for aluminium in brooktrout (Salvelinus fontinalis) were 215 at pH 5.3, 123 at pH 6.1 and 36 at pH 7.2. These BCFs are inversely related to pH. The maximum observed factors BCFs were 232 at pH 5.3, 153 at pH 6.1 and 46 at pH 7.2. When transferred to water of the same pH but with no added aluminium, the brook trout eliminated aluminium from tissues more rapidly at pH 5.3 than at 6.1 and 7.2.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
