Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
Low bioconcentration in fresh water fish
Executive summary:

The bioconcentration was low in the carp. The values ranged between 4 and 6.3 at test material concentration of 10 µg/L and 3.9 to 8.1 µg/L at 100 µg/L (NITE; 2002).

Description of key information
