Executive summary:

BCFBAF model of Estimation Programs Interface was used to predict the bioconcentration factor (BCF) of test chemical. The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of test chemical was estimated to be 3.162 L/kg whole body w.w (at 25 deg C) which does not exceed the bio concentration threshold of 2000, indicating that the test chemical is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain.

Additional information

Predicted data and various experimental studies of the test chemical were reviewed for the bioaccumulation end point which are summarized as below:

 

In a prediction done using the BCFBAF Program of Estimation Programs Interface was used to predict the bioconcentration factor (BCF) of test chemical. The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of test chemical was estimated to be 3.162 L/kg whole body w.w (at 25 deg C).

 

In a supporting weight of evidence study from secondary source (2006) for the test chemical,bioaccumulation experiment was conducted for estimating the BCF (bioaccumulation factor) value of test chemical. The bioaccumulation factor (BCF) value was calculated using an experimental logKow of 2.83. The estimated BCF (bioaccumulation factor) value of test chemical was determined to be 30 dimensionless.

 

For the test chemical, the bioaccumulation study was conducted for estimating the BCF (bioaccumulation factor) value of test chemical (HSDB, 2017). The bioaccumulation factor (BCF) value was calculated using a measured water solubility of 1.51 mg/l and a regression-derived equation. The estimated BCF (bioaccumulation factor) value of test chemical was determined to be 500 dimensionless.

 

On the basis of above overall results for test chemical, it can be concluded that the log Koc value of test chemical was estimated to be upto 500 dimensionless,which does not exceed the bioconcentration threshold of 2000, indicating that the test chemical is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain.
