Additional information
QSAR-disclaimer:
In Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, it is laid down that information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests, provided that the conditions set out in Annex XI (of the same Regulation) are met. According to Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (Q)SAR results can be used if (1) the scientific validity of the (Q)SAR model has been established, (2) the substance falls within the applicability domain of the (Q)SAR model, (3) the results are adequate for the purpose of classification and labeling and/or risk assessment and (4) adequate and reliable documentation of the applied method is provided.
For the assessment of 6-Octenenitrile, 3,7-dimethyl- (CAS 51566-62-2) (Q)SAR results were used for aquatic bioaccumulation. The criteria listed in Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 are considered to be adequately fulfilled and therefore the endpoint(s) sufficiently covered and suitable for risk assessment.
Therefore, and for reasons of animal welfare, further experimental studies on aquatic bioaccumulation are not provided.
Assessment:
The assessment of the bioaccumulation potential of citronellylnitrile is based on a weight-of-evidence approach by estimation data available from several estimation models. The table below lists the applied the estimated BCF values. Detailed information on the model’s results and the AD are given in the endpoint study records of IUCLID Chapter 5.3.1. The selected models comply with the OECD principles for (Q)SAR models.

no |
- Some similar molecules found have experimental values that disagree with the predicted value. - The maximum error in prediction of similar molecules has a high value. |
Considering all models applied, the estimated BCF values range from Based on the available information on the log Kow and supported by a weight-of-evidence approach on the calculated bioaccumulation factors, it can be concluded that significant accumulation of Citronellylnitrile in organisms is not to be expected.
Conclusion:
Overall, the estimated BCF values range from 31 to 295 L/kg. Based on the available calculated data, significant accumulation in organisms is not to be expected.
