Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Generally, a BCF/BAF in fish of ≥ 500 is indicative of the potential to bioconcentrate for classification purposes in accordance with CLP/GHS criteria. The BCF/BAF values estimated for trichloroethylene are well below the cut-off values for bioaccumulation. Therefore, trichloroethylene is not likely to bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
