Description of key information
Additional information
The following information is taken into account for any environmental exposure assessment:
Based on the the literature overview and the discussion above on BCF/BAF, the following bioaccumulation/bioconcentration factors have been derived and further used for Pb:
- Aquatic compartment
Bioaccumulation/bioconcentration factors in freshwater: 1,553 L/kg (wet weight)
- Soil compartment
The biota-to-soil accumulation factor (BSAF) for earthworms in soil is dependent on the effective cation exchange capacity (eCEC) of the soil:
log BSAF (kgdw/kgdw) = -0.89 * log eCEC (cmolc/kg) +0.55
For comparison with the PNECoral for birds and mammals, this BSAF must be expressed on a fresh weight basis. The conversion of dry weight to fresh weight is based on an average dry matter of 16% in earthworms (Jager 1998):
BSAF (kgdw/kgdw) = 0.16 * BSAF (kgdw/kgdw)
A generic BSAF factor of 0.048 (fresh weight) is derived for a soil with a median eCEC of 16 cmolc/kg soil. Fresh-weight based BSAF values for a soil with an eCEC of 8 and 30 cmolc/kg soil, corresponding to the 10thand 90thpercentile of eCEC in European arable soils are 0.089 and 0.028, respectively.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
