Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

BASIS INFORMATION
- Measured/calculated logPow: measured
BASIS FOR CALCULATION OF BCF
- Estimation software: Formula by Veith et al. 1979
- Result based on measured log Pow of: 2.4
Type:
BCF
Value:
21.9 dimensionless
Calculation basis:
other: QSAR
Remarks on result:
other: acc. to Veith et al. 1979
Conclusions:
According to an accepted calculation method (QSAR) by Veith et al. 1979 a BCF of 21.9 has been calculated for EGDMA (based on a logP of 2.4).
Executive summary:

According to an accepted calculation method (QSAR) by Veith et al. 1979 a BCF of 21.9 has been calculated for EGDMA (based on a logP of 2.4).

Description of key information

Based on the low measured log Pow value (log Pow= 2.4, Evonik Industries, 2010) for EGDMA a bioaccumulation rate of 21.9 was estimated according to the formula of Veith et al. 1979 (Guidance R.7C). In the OECD SIDS program a low bioaccumulation potential with a BCF of 3 has been estimated with EPIWIN, 2009, program BCFBAF.

Further studies do not need to be conducted as the substance is readily biodegradable (experimental result please see chapter 5.2.1. biodegradation screening test according to EEC Dir. 84/449, published in: Official Journal of the European Communities, No. L251/188, Closed Bottle Test).

Key value for chemical safety assessment
