Abstract
BUA compiled the available data on toxicity and ecotoxicity for severa l acrylic and methacrylic acid esters and their corresponding acids. A comparison of these data revealed a qualitative similarity in the tox icological and ecotoxicological properties of the compounds considered . The data indicate that methacrylates are less reactive than the corr esponding acrylates.
