BCFBAF Program (v3.01) Results:

==============================

--------------------------------- BCFBAF v3.01 --------------------------------

Estimated Log BCF = 0.500 (BCF = 3.162 L/kg wet-wt)

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not specified
Conclusions:
Bioaccumulation concentration factor (BCF) for Piperazine Citrate is 3.162 L/kg wet-wt which does not exceed the bioconcentration threshold of 2000. Thus it is concluded that Piperazine Citrate is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain because it does not exceed the BCF criteria.
Executive summary:

Estimation Programs Interface Suite (EPI suite, 2016) was run to predict the bioconcentration potential of the test compound Piperazine citrate (CAS no. 144 -29 -6). The BCF of the substance was calculated using BCFBAF Program (v3.01) software. Bioaccumulation concentration factor (BCF) for Piperazine Citrate is 3.162 L/kg wet-wt which does not exceed the bioconcentration threshold of 2000. Thus it is concluded that Piperazine Citrate is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain because it does not exceed the BCF criteria.
