The date of the first brood was recorded.
RANGE-FINDING STUDY: Definitive test concentrations based on the acute toxicity testing results of the same test substance which resulted in a 48-hour EC50 value of >143 mg/L. - Reference substance (positive control):

- Dose descriptor:
- NOEC
- Effect conc.:
- 45.2 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- meas. (not specified)
- Conc. based on:
- test mat.
- Basis for effect:

- Details on results:
- In the control, the mortality of parent daphnid was 0% at the end of the exposure. Thus, this result fulfilled the validity of the test (mortality = 20%). Mortality was 0% in all of the treatment concentrations at the end of the exposure.
The date of first brood for the control was 8 days after the start of the exposure. This results fell witin the proper range. The day of the first brood for the 4.56, 9.93, 20.1, 45.2, 96.5 mg/L test concentration group was 8, 8, 8, 8, and 9 days after start of the exposure, respectively.
The mean number of offspring per parent for the control during the 21 day exposure was 113. This result fulfilled the validity of the test (>/= 60 offspring). The mean number of offspring per parent for the 4.56, 9.93, 20.1, 45.2, 96.5 mg/L test concentration group was 107, 114, 112, 116, and 93.
There was no aborted eggs observed in all test concentration groups throughout the exposure. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- Acute immobilization test of a reference substance (K2Cr2O7, guaranteed reagent) has been conducted every six months since June 1998. The 48 hour median effect concentration (EC50) was as follows: average +/- standard deviation = 0.76 +/- 0.16 mg/L, n=13, minimum value -maximum value = 0.57 - 1.02 mg/L.
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Multiple comparison test (two groups or more other than control).
Bartlett's homogeneity of variances: If variances are equal, a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA); Parametric multiple comparison test, Dunnett, Williams or Scheffe are performed. If variances are not equal, a Kruskal-Wallis test; Nonparametric multiple comparison test, Dunnett, Williams or Scheffe are performed. Analysis conducted using Yukms Statlight #4 software (Yukms Corp, Tokyo). - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- In accordance with OECD test guideline 211, the 21-day NOEC was determined to be 45.2 mg/L in Daphnia magna.
- Executive summary:
A 21 -day chronic toxicity study with methacrylic acid, monoester with propane-1,2-diol to daphnids (Daphnia magna) was conducted under semi-static conditions with 10 replicates of 1 daphnid per test concentration exposed to a nominal limit test concentrations of 0 (control), 5.00, 10.5, 22.0, 47.0 and 100 mg/L. Water samples were measured for analytical verification of test concentrations during the exposure from three renewal sets and the resulting time-weighted mean measured concentrations were 0 (control), 4.56, 9.93, 20.1, 45.2, and 96.5 mg/L. The most sensitive endpoint was reproduction and the resulting 21-day NOEC for reproduction was 45.2 mg/L.

Description of key information
A long-term toxicity test with Daphnia magna exposed to 2 methacrylic acid, monoester with propane-1,2-diol and conducted under GLPs, semi-static conditions, and following standard test guidelines (OECD 211), resulted in a NOEC for reproduction of 45.2 mg/L.

Additional information
One long-term freshwater aquatic invertebrate study was available for methacrylic acid, monoester with propane-1,2-diol and considered reliable for assessment of this endpoint. The study was conducted with Daphnia magna and found to be of good quality and assigned a Klimisch score of one. The study was conducted for 21-days, under semi-static conditions, following OECD Test Guideline 211, and under GLP. The study concluded the 21-day NOEC for reproduction was 45.2 mg/L and was considered the key parameter for this endpoint.
