Conclusions:
Using BCFBAF Program (v3.00) model of EPI suite (2018) the estimated bio concentration factor (BCF) for test chemical is 60.43 L/kg wet-wt at 25 deg. c which does not exceed the bioconcentration threshold of 2000. Therefore it is concluded that test chemical is nonbioaccumulative in food chain.
Executive summary:

Using BCFBAF Program (v3.00) model of EPI suite (2018) the estimated bio concentration factor (BCF) for test chemical is 60.43 L/kg wet-wt at 25 deg. c which does not exceed the bioconcentration threshold of 2000. Therefore it is concluded that test chemical is nonbioaccumulative in food chain.

Additional information

Various studies have been reviewed for test chemical for Bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms endpoint and their results are summarized below.

The first study was done by using BCFBAF Program (v3.00) model of EPI suite (2018) in this study the bio concentration factor (BCF) for test chemical was estimated to be 60.43 L/kg wet-wt at 25 deg. c.

Next study was done by using Bio-concentration Factor (v12.1.0.50374) module of ACD lab in this study the Bio-concentration Factor at range pH 1 -14 was estimated to be 77.4 dimensionless. This value indicates that the chemical is non-bioaccumulative in aquatic organisms.

Last study was reviewed fromsupporting documents of High Production Volume Chemicals in this studythe Bioaccumulation concentration Factor (BCF) of test chemical was estimated to be 59 dimensionless. BY considering this BCF value it is concluded that test chemical is non-bioaccumulative in nature.

By considering results of all the studies mentioned above it can be concluded that test chemical is non-bioaccumulative in nature.
