Low levels of accumulation of the test item were observed during the 29 day exposure period. Between days 14 and 29 of the exposure phase, concentrations in fish portions were within ± 20% of the mean concentration indicating that steady-state was achieved during the exposure period. Model predictions from the kinetic analysis indicated that the time taken to achieve 90% of steady-state concentrations was 35 - 40 days continuous exposure. Bioconcentration factors were low for both fish portions and whole-fish. Mean bioconcentration factors at steady-state were in the range 66 - 179. Accumulation of radioactive residues was in the order edible < whole-fish < non-edible tissues and well below 1000, therefore the test item is not considered to be bioaccumulative. Elimination of the test item during the depuration phase was relatively slow. Kinetic analysis indicated that approximately 90% of the radioactive residues were eliminated in 36 - 44 days.
Description of key information
Neither the parent compound nor the identified metabolites significantly accumulate in organisms.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The bioaccumulative potential of the substance has been assessed in two experimental studies according or similar to OECD TG 305. The key study with a validity score of 1 was conducted according to OECD TG 305 under consideration of GLP. Radioactively labeled test material was used. Rainbow trout were exposed to 0.05 µg/L test substance in a continuous flow-through system. Low levels of accumulation of the test item were observed during the 29 day exposure period. Between days 14 and 29 of the exposure phase, concentrations in fish portions were within ± 20% of the mean concentration indicating that steady-state was achieved during the exposure period. Mean bioconcentration factors at steady-state were in the range 66 - 179. Accumulation of radioactive residues was in the order edible < whole-fish < non-edible tissues and well below 1000, therefore the test item is not considered to be bioaccumulative. Elimination of the test item during the depuration phase was relatively slow. Kinetic analysis indicated that approximately 90% of the radioactive residues were eliminated in 36 - 44 days.
A second study was conducted similar to OECD TG 305. Cyprinus carpio was exposed to nominal concentrations of 0.1 and 1 mg/L test substance. The resulting BCF values were 20 and 22.5 L/kg respectively.
In addition to the parent compound, 126 metabolites identified in chapter 5.2.1 and four in 5.2.2 were additionally assessed with the Catalogic BCF baseline model v.04.11 included in the Catalogic platform v5.14.1.5. The applicability domain of the model consists of three layers: (1) the parameter domain, (2) the structural fragment domain, and (3) the mechanistic domain. The compounds were within the parameter ranges of the parameter domain, i.e. the logKow, the molecular weight and the water solubility were within the range of the domain. The compounds were also within the mechanistic domain. Thus, they are taken up by passive diffusion only. Regarding the structure domain, the model identified 47 to 85% correct fragments and 15 to 53% unknown fragments for the metabolites from chapter 5.2.1, respectively 53 to 67 % correct fragments and 33 to 47 % unknown fragments for the metabolites from chapter 5.2.2. Due to the result of the structure domain, the compounds must be classified as out of domain. Nevertheless, the BCF results are regarded as valid and suitable. The model calculates the BCF by applying mitigating factors to the baseline BCF taking into account important mitigating parameters like metabolism, size, acids, phenols and water solubility. The compounds have BCF values ranging from 2.69 to 363 L/kg. Additionally, the model also calculates the molecular size (Diammax average). The compounds have values from 1.48 to 2.69 nm. A threshold of 1.7 nm is generally regarded as indicator of a limited bioaccumulative potential due to hindered uptake through biological membranes (cf. ECHA’s Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment, Chapter R.11: PBT/vPvB assessment).
In conclusion, neither the parent substance nor the identified metabolites are expected to significantly bioaccumulate.
