at 25C and 101.3 kPa (760 mm Hg).


1.2 Physical and Chemical Properties
Acrylonitrile is a colourless liquid with a faintly sweet, pungent odour, which dissolves
readily in water. It is explosive and flammable. Some physical and chemical properties
of acrylonitrile are given in the Sample International Chemical Safety Card.

1.3 Composition
Technical acrylonitrile is more than 99% pure. It is stabilized against self-
polymerization and yellow colour formation by the addition of hydroquinone monomethyl
ether (35-50 mg/kg) and water (0.25-0.45%). Impurities may include acetone,
acetonitrile, aldehydes, iron, hydrogen cyanide, and peroxides.

1.4 Uses
Acrylonitrile does not occur as a natural product. However, it is produced industrially
on a large scale. The compound is mainly used in the production of synthetic fibres,
resins, and rubbers, and as a chemical intermediate. It is also used in fumigants.


2. Summary and Evaluation

2.1 Exposure to Acrylonitrile
Acrylonitrile is emitted in significant amounts from factories, both in the air
and in waste waters, and people living nearby may be exposed to the chemical.
Drinking-water and food may be contaminated with acrylonitrile, but levels will be low,
unless the soil or water supplies have been contaminated through accidental spillage
during production, storage, transport, or use. Contamination of food from packaging
materials containing free acrylonitrile is possible.
Experience has shown that workers in factories using acrylonitrile to make
other products run a higher risk of exposure than those in factories producing the
chemical, where it is more easily contained. Exposure in the work-place is through
inhalation and contamination of the skin.

2.2 Uptake, Metabolism, and Excretion
In animals, acrylonitrile is readily absorbed through the skin and by ingestion
and inhalation. Absorbed acrylonitrile is distributed fairly uniformly within the animal
body but there are no indications that it accumulates in animal tissues following
prolonged exposure. Mercapturic acids are the major metabolites of acrylonitrile in vivo.


Technological Institute of the Philippines

Urinary excretion of acrylonitrile-derived mercapturic acid is proportional to the level of
acrylonitrile in the body. Biological monitoring of acrylonitrile-derived mercapturic acids
in human urine is a promising, but insufficiently validated, method for the estimation of
the total uptake of acrylonitrile.

2.3 Effects on Animals
The compound is regarded as highly toxic for animals when inhaled (LC50
between 150 and 1250 mg/m
3
for a 4-h exposure) and highly toxic when ingested (LD50
between 25 and 200 mg/kg body weight).
Absorption of acrylonitrile vapour mainly affects the gastrointestinal and
respiratory tracts, the liver, kidneys and the central nervous system. Similar effects are
seen when liquid acrylonitrile is absorbed through the skin; skin injury may occur a few
hours after exposure. Exposure to some organic solvents in addition to acrylonitrile may
significantly increase its toxic effects on animals.
Acrylonitrile exposure of animals causes damage to the embryo and
malformation of the fetus only at levels approaching those that are toxic for the mothers.
Although acrylonitrile has given positive results in a number of in vitro
mutagenicity tests, it has not been found to be mutagenic in whole animals, so far.
Long-term administration of acrylonitrile to rats, orally or by inhalation, has
resulted in the induction of malignant tumours at several sites, the incidence being dose
related.
Acrylonitrile has been shown to be toxic for aquatic organisms, concentrations
between 12 and 70 mg/litre water being lethal for half the number of exposed fish (LC50)
within 2-4 days.

2.4 Effects on Human Beings
In man, symptoms of overexposure to acrylonitrile include headache,
sleeplessness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, fatigue, mild jaundice, and irritation and
inflammation of the eyes and respiratory tract including the nose and throat. In more
severe cases, unconsciousness and convulsions may occur. Fatalities have been
reported following the use of fumigant mixtures containing acrylonitrile combined with
carbon tetrachloride and methylene chloride, but exact exposure conditions were not
known. Complaints of ill health in workers, exposed for a number of years to acrylonitrile
at concentrations of less than 45 mg/m
3
, have been reported in several studies; the
complaints were variable in nature, and were not consistently related to the length of
exposure. These studies do not provide evidence of a specific disease arising from long-
term, low-level exposure to acrylonitrile. At higher concentrations (up to 220 mg/m
3
),
exposure for 20-40 min resulted in complaints of headache, irritation of the upper
respiratory tract and the eyes, nervous irritability, and itching of the skin.
Exposure of the skin to liquid acrylonitrile may cause irritation with reddening and
blisters. Skin inflammation is much more common than allergic skin reactions.


Technological Institute of the Philippines

Although there is sufficient evidence for the carcinogenicity of acrylonitrile in animals,
the epidemiological studies carried out so far have not provided sufficient evidence of
carcinogenicity in man.


3. Conclusions and Recommendations
It was not possible to establish a level at which no observed adverse effects
occurred on the basis of the experimental and epidemiological data presented to the
Task Group. Therefore, exposure to acrylonitrile should be kept as low as possible in
both the work-place and the general environment, and skin contact with the liquid should
be avoided.

Interdent Inc.


In 1978, an entrepreneurial group of
dentists realized that they could
focus more on the practice of
dentistry if they had someone
manage the business for them.
Under the name of Gentle Dental,
this group grew into a multi-site
practice in Portland, Oregon, and
Vancouver, Washington, and
eventually became Gentle Dental
Services Inc. The company merged
in 1998 with a similar dental practice
services organization with offices in
California and Hawaii, to form
Wisdom Holdings Inc. On February
8, 1999, the name was changed to
InterDent Inc. and the company
expanded into several additional
states.
