and appears to be an outlier. This value is not consistent with 11 other BCF values for
C11-C16 methylated naphthalenes, all of which indicate that these structures are not
bioaccumulative.
There is some indication that selected C16 and C18 di-aromatic structures may be
bioaccumulative. However, the compounds that trigger the B criterion have structural
features (di-isopropyl branching, ethanediyl and bibenzyl moities) that are not typical of
petroleum hydrocarbons. If data for only representative structures are considered,
available data show di-aromatics exhibit a low bioaccumulation potential. This
conclusion is further supported by the fact that experimental BMF values (Figure 51) for
these structures are at or well below 0.1 (Figure 52). It can be concluded that based on
the available data, di-aromatic hydrocarbons, as a class, are neither bioaccumulative nor
very bioaccumulative.
