Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

BCFBAF Program (v3.01) Results:

==============================

SMILES : O=C(OCc(cccc1)c1)CCC

CHEM : Butanoic acid, phenylmethyl ester

MOL FOR: C11 H14 O2

MOL WT : 178.23

--------------------------------- BCFBAF v3.01 --------------------------------

Summary Results:

Log BCF (regression-based estimate): 1.69 (BCF = 48.8 L/kg wet-wt)

Biotransformation Half-Life (days) : 0.0278 (normalized to 10 g fish)

Log BAF (Arnot-Gobas upper trophic): 1.04 (BAF = 11 L/kg wet-wt)

Log Kow (experimental): not available from database

Log Kow used by BCF estimates: 3.06

Equation Used to Make BCF estimate:

Log BCF = 0.6598 log Kow - 0.333 + Correction

Correction(s): Value

No Applicable Correction Factors

Estimated Log BCF = 1.688 (BCF = 48.76 L/kg wet-wt)

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not specified
Conclusions:
The estimated bio concentration factor (BCF) for tset chemical is 48.76 L/kg whole body w.w which does not exceed the bio concentration threshold of 2000. Thus it is concluded that test chemical was not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain.
Executive summary:

BCFBAF model (v3.01) of Estimation Programs Interface (EPI Suite) was used to predict the bioconcentration factor (BCF) of test chemical. The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of test chemical was estimated to be 48.76 L/kg whole body w.w (at 25 °C) which does not exceed the bio concentration threshold of 2000, indicating that the test chemical was not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain.
