Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Reference 1

Endpoint:

bioaccumulation in aquatic species: fish

Type of information:

(Q)SAR

Adequacy of study:

key study

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification

Justification for type of information:

QSAR prediction from a well-known and acknowledged tool. See below under ''attached background material section' for methodology and QPRF.

Qualifier:

according to

Guideline:

other: REACH guidance on QSARs: Chapter R.6. QSARs and grouping of chemicals

Details on estimation of bioconcentration:

Since the test substance is a UVCB with similar constituents (varying mainly in the number of acrylates TMP backbone as well as adduct formation) BCF values were predicted for the individual constituents followed by the determination of an overall weighted-average value based on mole fractions.
The following equation from BCFBAF v3.02 program of EPISuite v 4.11 was used:
Log BCF = 0.6598 log Kow - 0.333 + Correction

Key result

Value:

ca. 1 189 other: L/kg w/w

Basis:

other: estimated from regression-based method

Calculation basis:

other: calculated based on estimated log Kow for individual components

Remarks on result:

other: Log BCF was 2.52

Conclusions:

Using BCFBAF v.3.01 program of EPISuite, the weighted average BCF for the test substance of 1189 L/kg (log BCF: 2.52)

Executive summary:

The bioaccumulation factor (BCF) of the test substance was predicted using the BCFBAF v.3.01 program (EPISuite v4.11). Since the test substance is a UVCB with similar constituents (varying mainly in the number of acrylates TMP backbone as well as adduct formation) BCF values were predicted for the individual constituents (>5%) followed by the determination of an overall weighted-average value based on mole fractions. SMILES codes were used as the input parameter. The predicted BCF of the individual constituents ranged from 10.04 to 9303 L/kg (i.e., equivalent to log BCF ranging from 1 to 3.97), leading to a weighted average BCF value of 1189 L/kg (log BCF: 2.52) for the test substance (US EPA, 2018).

Conclusions:

The predicted log BCF of the individual constituents ranged from 0.012 to 0.407, leading to a weighted average log BCF value of 0.76 (i.e., BCF = 5.8 L/Kg wet-wt for the test substance.

Executive summary:

The bioaccumulation factor (BCF) of the test substance was predicted using the BCF base line model v.03.10 program of LMC. Since the test substance is a UVCB with similar constituents (varying mainly in the number of acrylates TMP backbone as well as adduct formation) log BCF values were predicted for the individual constituents (present at >5%) followed by the determination of an overall weighted-average value using mole fractions. SMILES codes were used as the input parameter. The predicted log BCF of the individual constituents ranged from 0.012 to 0.407, leading to a weighted average log BCF value of 0.76 (i.e., BCF = 5.8 L/Kg wet-wt for the test substance (LMC, 2018); indicative of low bioaccumulation potential. Except the trimers (which exceeded the molecular weight parameter), all other constituents were within the three domain criteria defined in the QSAR model. Therefore, the predictions can be considered to be less accurate or reliable with restrictions.

Description of key information

Based on the available weight of evidence i.e., experimental log Kow values of the major constituents, predicted BCF values of the constituents (combined with high MW and Dmax values for the out of domain constituents), together with the absence of systemic effects in repeated dose study in mammals, overall indicate a low bioaccumulation potential for the test substance. As a conservative approach, the higher weighted average BCF value from EPISuite has been considered further for risk assessment.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

BCF (aquatic species):

1 189 L/kg ww

Additional information

The test substance is an UVCB with severalconstituents, varying mainly in the number of acrylates attached totrimethylolpropane(TMP) backbone as well as adducts formation.The experimental log Kow values for the major constituents of the test substance were determined to be 4.14 and 3.05 (respectively representing 81% and 10% of total base peak area) and were between -0.10 and 3.8 for the minor constituents (representing together <10% peak area). Based on this information, the test substance cannot be considered B or vB as it is below the log Kow ≤ 4.5 threshold, according to the REACH criteria.

This is further supported by the QSAR based BCF predictions for individual constituents using BCF base-line (LMC) as well as BCFBAF (EPISuite) as well as along with other weight of evidence supporting low uptake potential.

The bioaccumulation factor (BCF) of the test substance was predicted using the BCF base line model v.03.10 program of LMC. Since the test substance is a UVCB with similar constituents (varying mainly in the number of acrylates TMP backbone as well as adduct formation) log BCF values were predicted for the individual constituents (present at >5%) followed by the determination of an overall weighted-average value using mole fractions. SMILES codes were used as the input parameter. The predicted log BCF of the individual constituents ranged from 0.012 to 0.407, leading to a weighted average log BCF value of 0.76 (i.e., BCF = 5.8 L/Kg wet-wt for the test substance (LMC, 2018). Based on the BCF predictions, the test substance can be considered to have a low bioaccumulation potential.

The BCF of the test substance was also predicted using the BCFBAF v.3.01 program (EPI Suite v4.11) using similar approach as described above. The predicted BCF of the individual constituents ranged from 337 to 9303 L/kg (i.e., equivalent to log BCF ranging from 0.5 to 3.97), leading to a weighted average BCF for the test substance of 1189 L/kg (log BCF: 2.52) (US EPA, 2018). Based on the individual BCF predictions, all the constituents except the three dimers (which make up approx. 0-35% of the composition), do not exceed the 2000 L/kg limit criteria. The three dimers however are not expected to pose a bioaccumulation concern due to the below weight of evidence which supports uptake hindrance leading to low penetration:

-         Their log Kow predictions are ≥6 (i.e., 5.9-7.35; refer to Annex 5), which are known to have a non-linear and a decreasing relationship with BCF in accordance with ECHA Guidance Chapter R.7c

-         Likely to face hindrance in uptake due to their:

o   High molecular weight which is >700 g/Mol (i.e. 824-951 g/Mol)

o   Dmax average: >17.4Å (i.e., 23.69-26.61 Å; as per BCF base-line model of LMC software)

o   Stearic hindrance due to the bulky structure of the dimers

o   Can be expected to have low low absorption potential

-         Absence of systemic effects in mammals (rats) up to the highest tested dose of 1000 mg/kg bw/day in a combined repeated dose toxicity study with the reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test.

Further, considering the weighted average predicted BCF value, which is below the 2000 L/kg limit, as set out in Section 1 of Annex XIII to the REACH Regulation, the test substance can be overall considered to have low bioaccumulation potential.

With regard to the domain evaluations for both the QSAR models, most of the constituents meet the respective domain criteria, i.e., log Kow and molecular weight (MW) cut offs as defined in the BCFBAF user guide of EPISuite and general properties (log Kow, WS and MW), structural and mechanistic criteria as defined in the BCF base-line QSAR model. Only, the trimers (forming <15% of composition) due to their higher MW exceed the maximum MW of the training set (1100 g/mol). However, these constituents in general can be expected to have low permeability across membranes, considering their big size, high MW and predicted log Kow >10 (refer to Annex 5), all of which support a low bioaccumulation potential in accordance with the ECHA Guidance Chapter R.11, 2014. Therefore, the QSAR predictions from the two models can be considered to be reliable with low degree of uncertainty.
