Executive summary:

In a primary eye irritation study (BASF XX / 174) a rabbit was exposed to 0.05 mL of AEEA (99 -100 %). The animal then was observed for 8 days. Irritation was scored after 1 and 24 hours by the method of Draize. The substance AEEA revealed moderate eye irritating effects in rabbits (edema score 3.0, erythema score 2.0, opacity score 2.0). Effects were not reversible within 8 days. The results in this study are in line with the corrosive properties of AEEA on the skin.
