Calculation of aquatic BCF by EPI-Win (BCFBAF, v3.01), based on measured Log Pow of 0.64. Result: BCF = 3.162 L/kg wet weight.

QPRF report has been created for one prediction: Log BCF (regression-based estimate): 0.50 (BCF = 3.16 L/kg wet-wt) because summary of all other BCFBAF prediction results is presented in QPRF report. The test chemical was assigned as "FALLS within applicability domain" for each prediction.

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
Calculation of aquatic BCF by EPI-Win (BCFBAF, v3.01), based on measured log Pow of 0.64.
Result: BCF = 3.162 L/kg wet weight
Executive summary:

The Bioconcentration Factor (BCF) of butylaminoethanol was determined by calculation. This calculation was performed by the computer program from US-EPA (EPIWIN software BCFBAF v3.01). Furthermore, the whole body primary biotransformation rate estimation for fish was calculated by the same program with the notation that the bio half-life is normalized to 10 g fish at 15 °C. With this result it is possible to predict the apparent metabolism half-life in fish for three different trophic levels (lower, mid and upper). In general, the bioconcentration factor of a substance describes the accumulation potential of a substance dissolved in water by an aquatic organism.
