Conclusion on classification
Based on the OECD screening tests OECD 301 F and OECD 301F, Ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) is considered to be readily biodegradable (> 60 % biodegradation within 28 days) but failing the 10-day window. Hence, the substance is not readily biodegradable according to CLP criteria.
However, no bioaccumulation is expected according to log Pow of 2.4.
Based on the available and reliable short-term toxicity data for fish [LC50 (96h): 15.95 mg/l], daphnia magna [EC50 (48h): 44.9 mg/l) and algae [EC50: 17.3 mg/l]), EGDMA does not need to be classified for acute toxicity to aquatic organisms (cut-off value >1mg/l) according to the CLP Regulation EC No 1272/2008.
Chronic aquatic toxicity studies are available for daphnia magna and algae indicating a EC10 for daphnia magna of 7.22 mg/l and ErC10 for algae of 6.93 mg/l. No chronic data are available for fish. Because adequate chronic toxicity data are thus only available for two trophic levels, additionally the short-term toxicity data of fish [LC50 (96h) of 15.95 mg/l] must be considered for the assessment of the long-term toxicity.
Triggered by the acute fish data (L(E)C50 value in the range of >10 to≤100 mg/l), EGDMA needs to be classified for chronic toxicity to aquatic organism with Aquatic Chronic Category 3 according to CLP Regulation EC No 1272/2008.
