Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
The BCFBAF method classifies a compound as either ionic or non-ionic.  Ionic compounds include carboxylic acids, sulfonic acids and salts of sulfonic acids, and charged nitrogen compounds (nitrogen with a +5 valence such as quaternary ammonium compounds).  All other compounds are classified as non-ionic. The QSAR estimation equation used for log Kow 1.0-7.0 is: Log BCF = 0.6598 Log kow - 0.333 + Σ correction factors.
