Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

The available data on toxicity and ecotoxicity for several acrylic and methacrylic acid esters and their corresponding acids indicates a qualitative similarity in the toxicological and ecotoxicological properties of the compounds considered. The data indicate that methacrylates are less reactive than the corresponding acrylates.
