Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

Water analysis showed that exposure concentrations were maintained relatively constant during the uptake phase. The uptake phase showed the fish attained rapid and steady state concentration of the alcohol. Rapid elimination occured after transfer to clean water. Measurement of the BCF values at the lower water concentration tested were 16, 29 and 30 for C10 , C12 and C13 -alcohol. Measured BCF values were dependant on water concentration with a two-fold increase observed for the C12 and C13 alcohol.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
There is no specific conclusion on the bioconcentration factor in fish for Isoundecanol.
Executive summary:

The results of bioconcentration testing in fish clearly showed lack of any substantial bioconcentration of the C10, C12 and C13 alcohols tested. The BCF value were 16, 29 and 30 , respectively. Isoundecanol (C11) is closely related to this group of alcohols, and although the information is taken from a scientific abstract, it is considered adequate to support the non PBT status of Isoundecanol.
