| Abstract |
A sampling and analysis program was conducted to determine the levels of acrylonitrile in air, water, soil, and sediment around 11 industrial sites. The industrial sites included acrylonitrile and acrylamide producers, acrylic and modacrylic fiber producers, ABS and SAN resin producers, and nitrile elastomer producers. Air was collected at the perimeters of the industrial sites as 24-composites using charcoal adsorption tubes. Soil samples were collected at the air sampling stations. Grab water samples were collected upstream, downstream, and, if possible, at plant discharges. Air levels ranged from 0.1 to 325 microgram/cu m; water levels ranged from nondetectable to 4,300 microgram/liter. No acrylanitrile was found in the soils or sediments. The sample extracts were analyzed by gas chromatography and confirmed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. |
