| Abstract |
The report is a survey and summary of the literature on acrylonitrile. Major aspects of its biological effects, environmental exposure, chemistry, production and use, and regulations are reviewed and assessed. Acrylonitrile is used in a wide variety of plastics, fibers, and elastomers. About 1.5 billion pounds of acrylonitrile are produced annually by the reaction of propylene, air, and ammonia. Low levels of acrylonitrile enter the environment during production, storage, end-product manufacture and end-use, although extensive monitoring data are not available. Recent evidence shows acrylonitrile to be carcinogenic in animals and possibly carcinogenic in humans. It resulted in birth defects when fed to pregnant rats and caused mutations in some type of bacteria. Short-term exposure to humans causes headache, mucus membrane irritation, dizziness, vomiting and incoordination. Several fatalities have resulted from fumigant use. Direct skin contact produces blisters resembling second-degree burns. In laboratory mammals, signs of acrylonitrile intoxication include altered breathing, incoordination, weakness, convulsions, and coma. |
