Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information

The estimation by calculation for the BCF is 45 L/kg, reflecting that quinine has a low accumulation potential.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

BCF (aquatic species):
45 L/kg ww

Additional information

The given BCF, BAF and Biotransformation half-life estimations from the models for quinine show that, quinine has a low accumulation potential. Nevertheless, the EPA recommends that EPI Suite is a screening-level tool and should not be used if acceptable measured values are available. However, empirical studies have not been done, so that we consider a BCF of 48 L/kg, BAF of 45 L/kg and Biotransformation half-life of 0.126 days.
