Summary Results:
Log BCF (regression-based estimate): 1.21 (BCF = 16.3 L/kg wet-wt)
Biotransformation Half-Life (days) : 0.109 (normalized to 10 g fish)
Log BAF (Arnot-Gobas upper trophic): 1.16 (BAF = 14.4 L/kg wet-wt)
Log Kow (experimental): not available from database

Estimated Log BCF = 1.211 (BCF = 16.27 L/kg wet-wt)- Reported statistics:
- Log BCF (regression-based estimate): 1.21 (BCF = 16.3 L/kg wet-wt)
Biotransformation Half-Life (days) : 0.109 (normalized to 10 g fish)
Log BAF (Arnot-Gobas upper trophic): 1.16 (BAF = 14.4 L/kg wet-wt) - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- QSAR estimation using the BCFBAF v3.01 of the EPISUITE 4.1 indicate that the BCF of Potassium amyl xanthate is 16.27 L/kgwwt. This is well below the threshold for Bioaccumulation (B) for the PBT determination.
- Executive summary:
Bioconcentration/bioaccumulation was estimated using QSAR estimation software (EPISUITE v4.1 BCFBAF v3.01), in accordance with REACH Annex XI. The estimated log BCF is 1.21 (BCF = 16.27 L/kg wet-wt) using the regression-based method. The estimated log BAF is 1.16 (BAF = 14.4 L/kg wet-wt) using the Arnot-Gobas upper trophic method.
- Endpoint:
- bioaccumulation in aquatic species: fish
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the substance has a low potential for bioaccumulation based on log Kow <=3
- other:

Description of key information
This substance has a limited potential to bioaccumulate (based on log Kow used by BCF estimates: 2.34 , and predicted bioconcentration factors, log BCF = 1.21 (EPIWIN/BCF Program).
The estimated BCF of 16.27 L/kg wet-wt was measured by calculation from EPI SuiteTM v4.1 Program.
These values would suggest very low bioaccumulation potential.

Additional information
According to “ANNEX IX- STANDARD INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBSTANCES MANUFACTURED OR IMPORTED IN QUANTITIES OF 100 TONNES OR MORE , a bioaccumulation study need not be conducted if:
— the substance has a low potential for bioaccumulation (for instance a log Kow ≤ 3) and/or a low potential to cross biological membranes, or
— direct and indirect exposure of the aquatic compartment is unlikely.
The estimated Log BCF of Potassium amyl xanthate is 1.21 (BCF = 16.27 L/kg wet-wt)
