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

For the purposes of assessing the bioaccumulation hazard of dicopper hydroxide phosphate, the phosphate moiety is not considered to be bioaccumulated and therefore the chemical species of interest is copper. There is a considerable amount of copper accumulation data available. The data demonstrate an inverse relation between the copper bioaccumulation from soil and the copper concentrations in the soil. The information demonstrates that copper is well regulated in all living organisms and that the BCF and BAF values have no meaning for a hazard assessment. The data also demonstrate that copper is not biomagnified in the terrestrial ecosystems and that there is no issue for secondary poisoning of copper. In addition the data demonstrate that waterborne exposure is the most critical exposure route and that copper is not biomagnified in aquatic ecosystems.
