Bioaccumulation

Bioaccumulation: aquatic / sediment

BCFBAF model (v3.01) of Estimation Programs Interface (EPI Suite, 2017) was used to predict the bioconcentration factor (BCF) of Black pepper oil . The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of Black pepper oil was estimated to be 360.5 L/kg whole body w.w (at 25 deg C) which does not exceed the bioconcentration threshold of 2000, indicating that the Black pepper oil (CAS: 8006-82-4) is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain.

Following studies include the predicted data for the target chemical to conclude the extent of bioconcentration of (Black pepper oil (CAS: 8006-82-4) in environment is summarized as follows:

BCFBAF model (v3.01) of Estimation Programs Interface (EPI Suite, 2017) was used to predict the bioconcentration factor (BCF) of Black pepper oil . The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of Black pepper oil was estimated to be 360.5 L/kg whole body w.w (at 25 deg C) which does not exceed the bioconcentration threshold of 2000, indicating that the Black pepper oil (CAS: 8006-82-4) is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain.

Using Bio-concentration Factor (v12.1.0.50374) module Bio-concentration Factor over the entire pH scale of the test substance Black pepper oil  estimated to be 1416 dimensionless.This value indicates that the test substance found to be non-accumulative in aquatic organisms.

It can be concluded from the BCF value that the black pepper oil (CAS: 8006 -82 -4) is non-accumulative in aquatic organisms.
