Applicant's summary and conclusion

- not applicable
- Conclusions:
- The whole body bioaccumulation factor (BCF) for a C10-12 chlorinated paraffin (58% chlorinated, mixed with a 14C-labelled chlorinated C12 paraffin) in rainbow trout after exposure for 60 days, varied from 1173 to 7816, based on radioactivity measurement and from 574 to 7273, based on parent compound measurement.
- Executive summary:
In a good-quality study conducted to GLP, the bioaccumulation factor (BCF) in rainbow trout of a C10-12 chlorinated paraffin (58% chlorination) has been determined following exposure to concentrations varying from 0.033 to 3.05 mg/L in a dynamic, flow-through system for 60 days. Groups of 30 young fish were exposed to the 58% chlorinated paraffin, mixed with 6-14C-labelled n-undecane (59.1% chlorinated), and the concentration of both radioactivity and parent compound measured in the medium during the study and in the fish at the end of the study period. The behaviour and mortality of the exposed fish was monitored during the study along with their weight and body length.
In the first series of experiments, no mortality or abnormal behaviour was noted in the control groups (freshwater and solvent control), whereas a dose-related increase in mortality (4/30, 17/29 and 24/30 at a nominal medium concentration of 0.1, 0.32 and 1.0 mg/L respecetively) was seen in the treated groups). In additional studies (series 2 and 3), mortalities were seen in all control groups (1/30 controls in series 1 and 2 and 2/29 and 3/29 solvent controls in series 2 and 3 respectively). Abnormal behaviour, inluding lethagy, failure to feed and bouts of directionless activity were seen in all treated groups, the extent being greater at the highest exposure concentrations. A 60-day LC50 value of 0.34 mg/L was determined for this material.
The BCF values, in the surviving fish, for the C10-12 chlorinated paraffin determined in this study based on radioactivity measurements were 7155, 7816, 3723, 2642 and 1173 at measured concentrations of 0.033, 0.10, 0.35, 1.07 and 3.05 mg/L respectively. The corresponding values based on parent compound measurements were 7273, 3600, 1629, 991 and 574. The general reduction in BCF with increasing exposure concentration may be related to a lack of solubility of the test material at highest concentrations.
