Description of key information

The bioconcentration factor (BCF) was estimated by BCFBAF v3.01, a model within Estimation Programs Interface Suite™ for Microsoft® Windows, v4.11. This estimated BCF is useful to evaluate the potential for bioaccumulation in both aquatic and terrestrial habitats.

The estimated log BCF for Pentamid KH was 2.36 (estimated BCF = 228 L/kg wet weight).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

BCF (aquatic species):

228 L/kg ww
