Acrylaldehyde
Active
Description
Acrolein (systematic name: propenal) is the simplest unsaturated aldehyde. It is produced widely but is most often immediately reacted with other products due to its instability and toxicity. It has a piercing, disagreeable, acrid smell similar to that of burning fat.
Acrolein is a severe pulmonary irritant and lachrymatory agent. It was used as a chemical weapon during World War I. It is, however, not outlawed by the Chemical Weapons Convention. Skin exposure to acrolein causes serious damage. Acrolein concentrations of 2 ppm are immediately harmful. Acrolein is not a suspected human carcinogen; no studies have been conducted on the carcinogenic effects of acrolein on humans, but studies on rats have shown an increase in cancerous tumors from ingestion, but not from inhalation. In October 2006, researchers found connections between acrolein in the smoke from tobacco cigarettes and the risk of lung cancer. Furthermore, acrolein is a toxic metabolite of cyclophosphamide, a cytotoxic chemotherapy agent, and results in hemorrhagic cystitis
