Additional information
One reliable key study is available on freshwater fish: A Japanese study (MoE 1998) on Oryszias latipes gives a LC50-96h of 2.78 mg/L. The results are broadly consistent with a QSAR developed for the lower alkyl methacrylates (Staples et al., 2009).
There is no data on marine fish, but studies with the common metabolite of the category, methacrylic acid, indicate that marine species are not expected to be more sensitive to methacrylates than freshwater species (Sverdrup, 2001).
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
