Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
According to the source, the BCF of 1,1,2,2 -tetrachloro-1,2 -difluoroethane is between 36 and 106 at 50 microgr/L, and between 29 and 90 at 5 microgr/L.
Executive summary:

The reported information derives by the Existing Chemicals Survey Program Conducted by the Japanese Government.

No exhaustive description of the procedure is provided but the study was conducted under GLP and it is to OECD 305 C "Bioaccumulation: Test for the Degree of Bioconcentration in Fish".

The BCF of 1,1,2,2 -tetrachloro-1,2 -difluoroethane was derived at two different concentrations.

According to the results, at 50 microgr/L the BCF is between 36 and 106, and at 5 microgr/L is between 29 and 90.
