m- / p-CRESOL MIXTURE<br />

3. ENVIRONMENTAL FATE AND PATHWAYS ID: 15831-10-4<br />

DATE: 24.05.2004<br />

3.7 BIOACCUMULATION<br />

Species : Leuciscus idus melanotus (Fish, fresh water)<br />

Exposure period : 3 day(s) at °C<br />

Concentration : .05 mg/l<br />

BCF : 20<br />

Elimination : no data<br />

Method : other: measured<br />

Year : 1985<br />

GLP : no<br />

Test substance : other TS: 14C-labelled m-cresol presumably > 98 % purity; no specific<br />

activity given<br />

Remark : Determination of radioactivity includes possible metabolized and/or<br />

incorporated intermediates<br />

The authors report BCF in different tables to be 17 or 20<br />

Test condition : 5 fish (2-4 g) were exposed to m-cresol in a closed system and<br />

concentrations were determined by following radioactivity in fish and water;<br />

BCF values related to wet weight; 20-25 degrees C; pH 7; hardness 100<br />

mg CaO/l<br />

Reliability : (2) valid with restrictions<br />

No standard test procedure, but in accordance with generally<br />

accepted scientific standards and described in sufficient<br />

detail<br />

Flag : Critical study for SIDS endpoint<br />

12.05.2004 (15)<br />

Species : other: Chlorella fusca (algae)<br />

Exposure period : 24 hour(s) at °C<br />

Concentration : .05 mg/l<br />

Elimination : no data<br />

Method : other: measured<br />

Year : 1985<br />

GLP : no<br />

Test substance : other TS: 14C-labelled m-cresol presumably > 98 % purity; no specific<br />

activity given<br />

Remark : In this study BCF-values of 40 and 4,900 for algae are<br />

reported without explanation for the difference.<br />

It is a common observation that test substance adsorbes at<br />

the surface of the algae. Due to the high surface / volume<br />

ratio a high BCF could be obtained.<br />

Test condition : 20-25 degrees C<br />

Reliability : (2) valid with restrictions<br />

No standard test procedure, but in accordance with generally<br />

accepted scientific standards and described in sufficient<br />

detail<br />

Species : other: Activated Sludge<br />

Exposure period : 5 day(s) at °C<br />

Concentration :<br />

BCF : 1100<br />

Elimination :<br />

Method : other: measured<br />

Year : 1985<br />

GLP : no<br />

Test substance : other TS: 14C-labelled m-cresol presumably > 98 % purity; no specific<br />

activity given<br />
