Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

The bioconcentration factor (BCF) was estimated using the BCFBAF program (v3.00) contained within the U.S. EPA EPI Suite. The BCF was estimated to be 4.45 L/kg weight weight (log BCF = 0.65) based upon the relationship to an estimated log Kow of 1.49.
