<br/><br/> This book evaluates the risk to human health and the environment posed by exposures to acrylonitrile. Acrylonitrile is a volatile, flammable, water-soluble liquid at room temperature. The large majority of acrylonitrile in Canada is used as a feedstock or chemical aid in the production of nitrilebutadiene rubber, and in acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene and styrene-acrylonitrile polymers.<br/><br/>Available data from studies in animals indicate that acrylonitrile is a skin respiratory and severe eye irritant. Increases in cancer incidence have not been consistently observed in available human epidemiological studies. A range of tumors in rats studies are evaluated for carcinogenic potency of acrylonitrile on humans.
