Description of key information

Weight of evidence: BCFBAF v3.01 model of EPI Suite v4.11. The bioconcentration factor (BCF) was estimated to be in the range of 30 -413 L/kg wet-wt for all main components. The BCF of the test substance has been determined to be the highest of the main components, i.e. 413 L/kg wet-wt, assuming the worst case scenario.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

BCF (aquatic species):
413 L/kg ww

Additional information

Weight of evidence: The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of the main components are available from EpiSuite calculation:

Terpinolene: EPI-Suite, BCFBAF v3.01. The estimated BCF is 413.3 L/kg wet-wt (log BCF from regression-based method = 2.616).

Camphene: EPI-Suite, BCFBAF v3.01. The estimated BCF is 282.7 L/kg wet-wt (log BCF from regression-based method = 2.451)

L-Limonene: EPI-Suite, BCFBAF v3.01. The estimated BCF is 360.5 L/kg wet-wt (log BCF from regression-based method = 2.557)

D-Limonene: EPI-Suite, BCFBAF v3.01. The estimated BCF is 360.5 L/kg wet-wt (log BCF from regression-based method = 2.557)

Alpha terpinene: EPI-Suite, BCFBAF v3.01. The estimated BCF is 296 L/kg wet-wt (log BCF from regression-based method = 2.47)

Alpha pinene: EPI-Suite, BCFBAF v3.01. The estimated BCF is 394.9 L/kg wet-wt (log BCF from regression-based method = 2.597)

Cineole: EPI-Suite, BCFBAF v3.01. The estimated BCF is 29.8 L/kg wet-wt (log BCF from regression-based method = 1.47)

Based on the composition of the substance and a weight of evidence approach, the bioconcentration factor (BCF) is determined to be 413 L/kg.
