Description of key information

Bioaccumulation: aquatic/sediments:

Using BCFBAF Program (v3.00) model of EPI suite (2018) the estimated bio concentration factor (BCF) for Alcohols, C13-15  (CAS No. 90604-31-2) is 58.06 L/kg wet-wt at 25 deg. c which does not exceed the bioconcentration threshold of 2000. Therefore it is concluded that test chemical Alcohols, C13-15 is non bioaccumulative in food chain.

Additional information

Bioaccumulation: aquatic/sediments:

Predicted data study for target chemical Alcohols, C13-15 (CAS No. 90604-31-2) and experimental studies for its structurally similar red across chemical have been conducted and their results are summarized below for bioaccumulation endpoint.

 

In first study prediction was done by using BCFBAF Program (v3.00) model of Estimation Program Interface (EPI suite 2018) the estimated bio concentration factor (BCF) for Alcohols, C13-15  (CAS No. 90604-31-2) is 58.06 L/kg wet-wt at 25 deg. c which does not exceed the bioconcentration threshold of 2000. Therefore it is concluded that test chemical Alcohols, C13-15 is non bioaccumulative in food chain.

 

Next study was experimental study done from authoritative database (HSDB, 2017) in this study the BCF value of read across chemical 1-Nonanol (CAS no. 143-08-8) estimated was 160 dimensionless by using log Kow of 3.77 and regression derived equation and it is far less than 2000 criteria therefore it is concluded that read across chemical 1-Nonanol is non bioaccumulative.

 

Another experimental study was also done from authoritative database (HSDB, 2017) in this study the BCF value of another read across chemical 1-Nonene (CAS no. 121-11-8) estimated was 1843 dimensionless by using log Kow of 5.15 and regression derived equation and it is less than 2000 criteria therefore it is concluded that read across chemical 1-Nonene is non bioaccumulative.

 

By compiling results of all the studies mentioned above it can be concluded that test chemical Alcohols, C13-15 (CAS No. 90604-31-2) is non bioaccumulative in nature.
