Additional information

Conclusion on classification

Diacetone acrylamide is of low ecotoxicity. The LC50/EC50s are above 100 mg/L for the acute exposures. Diacetone acrylamide is inherently, ultimately biodegradable, has no bioaccumulation potential and a low logPow of 0.321. Altogether there are no indications for a classification of diacetone acrylamide, based on ecotoxicity and/or fate and behaviour in the environment.

Diacetone acrylamide is not a PBT or vPvB-substance because of the low bioconcentration potential, the low partition coefficient n-octanol/water and the low ecotoxicity.
