Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

EC number: 202-784-1 | CAS number: 99-75-2
Bioaccumulation: aquatic / sediment

Description of key information
According to non-reliable data, methyl-p-toluate is not bioaccumulative (not B) in fish exposed via the water phase. The same conclusion would be reached by judging from log Kow (2.7) on bioconcentration potential.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- BCF (aquatic species):
- 93.3 dimensionless
Additional information
In an unreliable study on aquatic bioconcentration of methyl-p-toluate a BCF of 93.3 was determined in Oryzias latipes (12 hours exposure time, 1 mg/L nominal concentration, steady state assumption). Whether steady state was reached within the short exposure period was not demonstrated in this study. Judging from this result, the submission substance would be regarded as not bioaccumulative (not B). The same conclusion would be reached by judging from log Kow (2.7) on bioconcentration potential.
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.
