Conclusions:
The predicted log BCF of the individual constituents ranged from 0.56 to 0.77, leading to a weighted average log BCF value of 0.6377 (i.e., BCF = 4.34 L/Kg wet-wt for the test substance).


Executive summary:

The bioaccumulation factor (BCF) of the test substance was predicted using the BCF baseline model v.03.10 of LMC. Since the test substance is a UVCB, the BCF values were predicted for the individual constituents, as described in the boundary composition, followed by the determination of an overall weighted-average value based on mole fractions. SMILES codes were used as the input parameter. The predicted log BCF of the individual constituents ranged from 0.56 to 0.77, leading to a weighted average log BCF value of 0.6377 (i.e., BCF = 4.34 L/Kg wet-wt for the test substance (LMC, 2018). These values are indicative of a low bioaccumulation potential. All of the constituents were within the three domain criteria defined in the QSAR model. Therefore, the predictions can be considered to be accurate and reliable without the restrictions.

Conclusions:
The predicted BCF calculated with default estimated log Kow of the individual constituents ranged from 3.16 to 15.3 L/Kg wet-wt, leading to a weighted average BCF value of 12.80 L/Kg wet-wt for the test substance. The predicted BCF calculated with Exp/Est log Kow of the individual constituents ranged from 3.16 to 52.4 L/Kg wet-wt, leading to a weighted average BCF value of 19.23 L/Kg wet-wt.
Executive summary:

The bioaccumulation factor (BCF) of the test substance was predicted using the BCFBAF v.3.01 program (EPISuite v4.11).Since the test substance is a UVCB with similar constituents (varying mainly in the number of acrylates attached to the pentaerythritol backbone as well as adduct formation), BCF values were predicted for the individual constituents followed by the determination of an overall weighted-average value based on mole fractions.SMILES codes were used as the input parameter. The predicted BCF calculated based on estimated default log Kow of the individual constituents ranged from 3.16 to 15.3 L/Kg wet-wt, leading to a weighted average BCF value of 12.80 L/Kg wet-wt for the test substance. The predicted BCF calculated with experimental xp/Est log Kow of the individual constituents ranged from 3.16 to 52.4 L/Kg wet-wt, leading to a weighted average BCF value of 19.23 L/Kg wet-wt (US EPA, 2018). Regarding domain evaluation, all the constituents meet the respective domain criteria, i.e., log Kow and molecular weight (MW) cut offs as defined in the BCFBAF user guide of EPISuite, which indicates that the predictions from BCFBAF v.3.01 program are accurate and reliable.

Additional information

The bioaccumulation factor (BCF) of the test substance was predicted using the BCF baseline model v.03.10 of LMC.Since the test substance is a UVCB with similar constituents (varying mainly in the number of acrylates attached to the pentaerythritol backbone as well as adduct formation), BCF values were predicted for the individual constituents followed by the determination of an overall weighted-average value based on mole fractions.SMILES codes were used as the input parameter. The predicted log BCF of the individual constituents rangedfrom 0.56 to 0.77 (i.e., BCF = 3.63 to 5.89 L/kg wet-wt), leading to a weighted average log BCF value of 0.6377 (i.e., BCF = 4.34 L/kg wet-wt for the test substance (LMC, 2018). These values are indicative of a low bioaccumulation potential. All of the constituents were within the three domain criteria defined in the QSAR model. Therefore, the predictions can be considered accurate and reliable without restrictions.

Following a conservative approach, the higher value of 52.4 L/kg has been taken forward as the key value for risk assessment.
