Description of key information

The BCF of octadec-9-enoic acid (oleic acid) was calculated to be 56.23 L/kg wet weight with Log BCF calculated as 1.75 (BCFBAF v3.01).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Since the registered substance is known to dissociate in water, and has been shown to be readily biodegradable, EPISUITE (BCFBAF v.3.01) was used to predict bioaccumulation potential of the free acid (octadec-9-enoic acid). The BCF of octadec-9-enoic acid (oleic acid) was calculated to be 56.23 L/kg wet weight with Log BCF calculated as 1.75 (BCFBAF v3.01).
