Conclusions:
The Bioaccumulation factor (BCF) for the substance was determined to be at 1.5 L/kg for 1 mg/L and <= 3.8 L/kg for 0.1 mg/L
Executive summary:

Study was conducted to determine the bioaccumulation of test chemical in Cyprinus carpio. After the exposure of test chemical with Cyprinus carpio, it was observed that the chemical is non-bioaccumulative as BCF was deteremined to be 1.5 L/kg for 1 mg/L

Description of key information

The Bioaccumulation factor (BCF) for the substance was determined to be at 1.5 L/kg for 1 mg/L and<= 3.8 L/kg for 0.1 mg/L

 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Following study includes experimental study for the target chemical to observe the bioconcentration of test chemical.

Study (J-check) was conducted to determine the bioaccumulation of test chemical in Cyprinus carpio. After the exposure of test chemical with Cyprinus carpio, it was observed that the chemical is non-bioaccumulative as BCF was deteremined to be at 1.5 L/kg for 1 mg/L and <= 3.8 L/kg for 0.1 mg/L
