Additional information

There is one long-term study with aquatic invertebrates available for 2-amino-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol (AEPD), which was used as key study for the assessment. The study was conducted according to OECD guideline 211 and GLP (MOE, 2004). The test organism Daphnia magna was exposed to AEPD in a semi-static system for 21 days, at test concentrations of 3.99, 8.61, 18.7, 41.1, 88.5 mg/L (TWA). As a result, a NOEC based on reproduction of 3.99 mg/L was obtained.
