Fish bio-concentration factors (BCF) database
ARCHE Consulting, in partnership with CEFIC LRI, has created a database of the most accurate fish bioconcentration factor (BCF) data. Traditional methods of determining BCF through experimentation are time-consuming, labour and resource intenstive, and require many test animals. To address this, a reference database was developed by carefully scrutinizing data from published literature or compiled from existing databases.
The resulting database is a gold standard of fish BCF values which includes 1130 data points for 549 substances and 18 fish species. Objective guidelines for evaluating BCF data and a manual for updating the database were also created to ensure consistency.
The BCF database offers additional value as it is:
- linked to the Ambit database.
- included in the CEFIC LRI toolbox.
- integrated in the OECD QSAR Toolbox.
The fish bioconcentration database we developed can be downloaded below:
