Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Two new studies are included in this section of the dossier. The first is a radiolabelled study conducted on bluegill sunfish which includes both a bioaccumulation and depuration phase. The second study was conducted on a freshwater species (killifish) and a marine species (blue mussel) but only includes the bioaccumulation phase. The results from both studies indicate that 1,1,1-trichloroethane does not bioaccumulate in either freshwater or marine species.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- BCF (aquatic species):
- 9
Additional information
Barrows et al 1980 conducted a closed system follow-through study on Bluegill Sunfish over 28 days using radiolabelled material. Experimental results show that 1,1,1-trichloroethane does not bioaccumulate in fish and when exposure ceases residues in fish are lost within 24 hours. The BCF (quotient of the mean measured residues of the compound in fish tissues (whole body) during the equilibrium period divided by the mean measured concentrations of the compound in exposure water) was 9 and the DT50 in fish tissues ws 1.0 day. The second study report (Saisho et al 1993) includes data on freshwater fish and on marine mussels. The results show that 1,1,1-trichloroethane did not bioaccumulate in either trophic group.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
