Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 BCF programme in EPIWIN v.3.10 predicts a BCF of 3.16, indicating that bioaccumulation of n-Butyraldehyde is unlikely (Vinken R., 2007).
Regression-derived equations were also employed to determine the BCF. It was found to be between 1.13-2.75 (Lyman, W.J., 1990).
Using a Henry's Law constant of 1.2 x 10-4atm-cu m/mole, a log Kow of 0.88, and a regression-derived equation, an estimated bioconcentration factor (BCF) of 3.0 has been determined (US EPA).
These values suggest that the potential for bioconcentration of n-Butyraldehyde in aquatic organisms is low.
Additional information
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.
