Acrylonitrile is a high-purity reference material essential for laboratories conducting residue analysis in food and environmental samples, ensuring compliance with regulatory limits.

Overview

Acrylonitrile (CH2=CH–C≡N) is an organic compound and a colorless, volatile liquid with a pungent odor. It is a significant monomer in the manufacture of plastics such as polyacrylonitrile and ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene).

Uses

Acrylonitrile is primarily used as a monomer to produce polyacrylonitrile and various copolymers like styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN), acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA), and synthetic rubbers such as acrylonitrile butadiene (NBR). It is also a precursor in the synthesis of acrylamide and acrylic acid.

Regulatory

Acrylonitrile is classified as a Class 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), indicating it is carcinogenic to humans. Regulatory limits for occupational exposure are set by agencies like NIOSH and OSHA to ensure worker safety.

Monitoring

Monitoring of acrylonitrile levels in the environment and workplace is crucial due to its toxic and carcinogenic properties. Analytical methods include gas chromatography and mass spectrometry for accurate detection and quantification.

Health Impact

Acrylonitrile is toxic, with exposure routes including inhalation, ingestion, and dermal contact. It can cause skin and respiratory irritation, and long-term exposure is linked to central nervous system and liver damage. It is also associated with an increased risk of lung cancer.

Environmental Impact

Acrylonitrile is harmful to aquatic life and can persist in the air for up to a week. It decomposes into formyl cyanide and formaldehyde upon reacting with oxygen and hydroxyl radicals.

Safety Measures

Proper handling and storage of acrylonitrile are essential to prevent exposure. Safety measures include using personal protective equipment (PPE), proper ventilation, and adherence to occupational safety guidelines.

Regulation

Regulatory agencies have established permissible exposure limits (PEL) and recommended exposure limits (REL) for acrylonitrile to protect workers. The immediate danger to life and health (IDLH) level is set at 85 ppm.

Analytical Standards

High-purity reference materials for acrylonitrile are essential for laboratories conducting residue analysis. These materials ensure accurate and reliable results, helping laboratories comply with regulatory standards and maintain high-quality analysis.
