| Gesundheitsgefahren | Classified as very toxicprobable oral lethal human dose is between 50 and 500 mg/kg or between 1 teaspoon and 1 ounce for a 150 lb. person. Polymerized acrylamide is not toxic, but the monomer can cause peripheral nerve damage. It is a cumulative neurotoxin and repeated exposure to small amounts may cause serious injury to the nervous system. The neurological effects may be delayed. Polymer inhibitors or stabilizers added to the monomer may also produce toxicity. The symptoms of acrylamide toxicity are consistent with mid-brain lesions and blocked transport along both motor and sensory axons. Individuals with nervous system diseases should not be exposed to acrylamide.

| Gefahrenübersicht | Acrylamide is a colorless, odorless, crystalline solid that can react violently when melted. When it is heated, sharp fumes may be released.Acrylamide is used to make polyacrylamide, which is mainly used in treating waste water discharge from water treatment plants and industrial processes.In addition, acrylamide and polyacrylamides are used in the production of dyes and organic chemicals, contact lenses, cosmetics and toiletries, permanent-press fabrics, paper and textile production, pulp and paper production, ore processing, sugar refining, and as a chemical grouting agent and soil stabilizer for the construction of tunnels, sewers, wells and reservoirs.Acrylamide is formed in foods that are rich in carbohydrates when they are fried, grilled, or baked.The largest use for acrylamide is as an intermediate in the production of organic chemicals and in the synthesis of polyacrylamides. Acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) oral exposures to acrylamide have resulted in damage to the nervous system in humans and animals. Human data are inadequate on acrylamide and cancer risk. In rats orally exposed to acrylamide, significantly increased incidences of tumors at multiple sites have been observed. EPA has classified acrylamide as a Group B2, probable human carcinogen.Can cause sensorimotor neuropathy after occupational exposurePolyacrylamide, with less than 0.01% acrylamide, is nontoxic and considered safe as a cosmetic ingredient. . . . Available data indicate no unique sensitivity to the fetus. . . . Most cases of acrylamide poisoning in humans involved exposures over weeks or months from handling the monomer in the course of polymerization. . . . Kim et al. (2017) reported two cases of dermal and neural toxicity in Korean grouting workers with exposure to grouting agents that contained a high concentration of acrylamide (32 and 39% monomer).

| Wechselwirkungen | The primary objective of this investigation was to assess the neuroprotective efficacy of lithium in an acrylamide (ACR)-induced neuropathy model in mice. In this study, Kunming male mice were administered ACR (25 mg/kg bw, i.p. once a day) with or without lithium (25 mg/kg bw, i.p. once a day) for 2 weeks. All ACR-administered mice exhibited severe symptoms of neuropathy. We found that treatment with lithium effectively alleviated behavioral deficits in animals elicited by acrylamide. Interestingly, the reduction of hippocampal neurogenesis resulting from ACR injection was promoted by administration of lithium. Further, lithium treatment significantly offset ACR-induced depletion in p-GSK-3beta (Ser9) levels in hippocampus. Collectively our findings suggest the propensity of lithium to attenuate ACR-induced neuropathy. Further studies are necessary to understand the precise molecular mechanism by which the lithium attenuates neuropathy. Nevertheless, our data clearly demonstrate the beneficial effects of lithium on ACR-induced neuropathy in mice and suggest its possible therapeutic application as an adjuvant in the management of other forms of neuropathy in humans.... The present study investigated the efficacy of geraniol (GE, a natural monoterpene) to mitigate acrylamide (ACR)-induced oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and neurotoxicity in a rat model and compared its efficacy to that of curcumin (CU, a spice active principle with multiple biological activities). ACR administration (50 mg/kg bw, i.p. 3 times/week) for 4 weeks to growing rats caused typical symptoms of neuropathy. ACR rats provided with daily oral supplements of phytoconstituents (GE: 100 mg/kg bw/dCU: 50 mg/kg bw/d, 4 weeks) exhibited marked improvement in behavioral tests. Both phytoconstituents markedly attenuated ACR-induced oxidative stress as evidenced by the diminished levels of reactive oxygen species, malondialdehyde and nitric oxide and restored the reduced glutathione levels in sciatic nerve (SN) and brain regions (cortex - Ct, cerebellum - Cb). Further, both phytoconstituents effectively diminished ACR-induced elevation in cytosolic calcium levels in SN and Cb. Furthermore, diminution in the levels of oxidative markers in the mitochondria was associated with elevation in the activities of antioxidant enzymes. While ACR mediated elevation in the acetylcholinesterase activity was reduced by both actives, the depletion in dopamine levels was restored only by CU in brain regions. Taken together our findings ... demonstrate that the neuromodulatory propensity of GE is indeed comparable to that of CU and may be exploited as a therapeutic adjuvant in the management of varied human neuropathy conditions.... The current study assessed mixture effects of the three known genotoxic chemicals, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), acrylamide (AA), and maleic hydrazide (MH), in an experiment with a fixed ratio design setup. The genotoxic effects were assessed with the single-cell gel electrophoresis assay (comet assay) for both single chemicals and the ternary mixture. The concentration ranges used were 0-1.4, 0-20, and 0-37.7 mM for 2,4-D, AA, and MH, respectively. Mixture toxicity was tested with a fixed ratio design at a 10:23:77% ratio for 2.4-D:AA:MH. Results indicated that the three chemicals yielded a synergistic mixture effect. It is not clear which mechanisms are responsible for this interaction.The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effects of N-acetylcysteine NAC) against acrylamide toxicity in liver and small and large intestine tissues in rats. The rats were divided into four groups. Acrylamide administration increased malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in all tissues significantly (p<0.05). Butacrylamide+NAC administration decreased MDA levels significantly as compared to the acrylamide group, and lowered it to a level close to the control group values (p<0.05). Glitathione (GSH) levels in liver and small intestine tissues reduced significantly in the acrylamide group (p<0.05). Butacrylamide+NAC administration increased GSH levels significantly in all tissues. Whereas GST activity decreased significantly in the acrylamide group in liver and small intestine tissues as compared to the other groups (p<0.05), the GST activity increased significantly in the acrylamide+NAC group in all tissues as compared to the acrylamide group (p<0.05). Liver histopathology showed that the liver epithelial cells were damaged significantly in the acrylamide group. Small intestine histopathology showed that the intestinal villous epithelial cells were damaged significantly in the acrylamide group. Our results indicate that a high level of acrylamide causes oxidative damage in liver and small and large intestine tissues, while N-acetylcysteine administration in a pharmacological dose shows to have an antioxidant effect in preventing this damage.For more Interactions (Complete) data for ACRYLAMIDE (33 total), please visit the HSDB record page. |

| Umweltverhalten | TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an experimental Koc value of 50(2) indicates that acrylamide is expected to have very high to high mobility in soil(SRC). In an experiment evaluating leaching using soil TLC, Rf values ranging from 0.64 to 0.88, measured on four soils, indicated acrylamide is mobile in soil with higher mobility in sandy soils than in clay soils(3). Volatilization of acrylamide from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.7X10-9 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 0.00675 mm Hg at 25 °C(4), and water solubility, 3.711X10+5 mg/L(5). Acrylamide is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure(4). Acrylamide is susceptible to biodegradation in soil(6). Utilizing the Japanese MITI(7) and OECD 301D Closed Bottle tests(8), 70 and 98.1% of the Theoretical BOD was reached in 4 weeks, respectively, indicating that acrylamide is readily biodegradable. The nitrogen in acrylamide was recovered as inorganic nitrogen with recoveries after 3 and 14 days at 30 °C ranging from 11-71% in Clarion soil and 74-95% in Canisteo soil, respectively(9). Results from these studies suggested that acrylamide is hydrolyzed in soil under aerobic conditions to produce ammonium ion, which is then oxidized to nitrite ion and nitrate ion(9). In another study using 4 central New York soils at 70% of their moisture capacity, half-lives ranging from 18 to 45 hr were observed(10).AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an experimental Koc value of 50(2) indicates that acrylamide is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected(3) based upon an estiamted Henry's Law constant of 1.7X10-9 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from acrylamide's vapor pressure, 0.00675 mm Hg(4), and water solubility, 3.711X10+5 mg/L(5). According to a classification(6), a BCF of 1 for fingerling rainbow trout(7) suggests bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Acrylamide is susceptible to biodegradation in water(8). Utilizing the Japanese MITI(9) and OECD 301D Closed Bottle tests(10), 70 and 98.1% of the Theoretical BOD was reached in 4 weeks, respectively, indicating that acrylamide is readily biodegradable. In two river die-away tests using aerated Thames River water, the lag time for biodegradation to begin was 220 and 50 hr(11). In the latter case, 90% of the acrylamide disappeared in approximately 150 hr(11). The hydrolysis half-life of acrylamide is >38 years at a pH 7(12).ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), acrylamide, which has a vapor pressure of 0.00675 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase acrylamide is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC)the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 1.4 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 1.1X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). Vapor-phase acrylamide is also degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with ozone(SRC)the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 6.5 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 1.8X10-18 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). Acrylamide does not absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(4) and, therefore, is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC). |
| Lebensmitteluntersuchungswerte | Acrylamide concentrations of 183-404 ug/kg were detected in french fries, <25-202 ug/kg in bread crusts and <25-1522 ug /kg flat breads(1). An acrylamide level of nearly 300 ug/kg was formed in bread crisps over a time-period of toasting(2). Acrylamide was formed in biscuits during the baking using recipes containing sucrose, fructose and/or glucose(3). Frying tests indicated that the French fries that were fried in oils having lower heat transfer coefficients contained lower acrylamide concentrations (913 ug/kg), whereas those fried with oils having higher heat transfer coefficients contained higher acrylamide concentrations (1219 ug/kg)(4). Two different batches of 40 potato crisps brands from 18 producers in 2014 found acrylamide content ranged from 108 to 2180 ug/kg, with an average value of 630 ug/kg and a median of 556 ug/kg(5)in 2014, potato crisps showed an average acrylamide content 14.6% lower than the previous report in 2009 and 57.6% lower than the first report in 2004(5).Acrylamide levels were measured in foods in the 2003 FDA Total Diet Study, which represents 286 ready-to-eat foods in the US food supply. Acrylamide was generally not detected (detection limit 10 ppb) or detected infrequently in dairy, eggs, fats/oils, beverages, fruits, vegetables, legumes, mixtures (casseroles, sandwiches, soups, and pizzas), and meat/poultry/fish(1). Snack foods (corn/tortilla chips, microwave popcorn, potato chips, pretzels) contained some of the highest levels of acrylamide, ranging from 46 to 536 ppb. Acrylamide was also detected relatively frequently in the grains/starches/baked good category, with the highest levels found in graham crackers (211-647 ppb) and butter-type crackers (348-425 ppb). Acrylamide was detected relatively infrequently in baby food products, with the highest levels found in arrowroot cookies (105-267 ppb), sweet potatoes (30-117 ppb), and teething biscuits (128-235 ppb). Similar acrylamide results were reported for the 2004, 2005 and 2006 FDA Total Diet Studies(1).Acrylamide concentrations in various foods and food product groups from Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK, and the US have been reported as follows(1):[Table#716]The mean and range concentrations of acrylamide in potato-based foods from the Netherlands sampled in 1998 were as follows(1):[Table#717]For more Food Survey Values (Complete) data for ACRYLAMIDE (10 total), please visit the HSDB record page. |

Beschreibung
Acrylamide is an odorless, white crystalline solid that initially was produced for commercial purposes by reaction of acrylonitrile with hydrated sulfuric acid. Acrylamide exists in two forms: a monomer and a polymer. Monomer acrylamide readily participates in radicalinitiated polymerization reactions, whose products form the basis of most of its industrial applications. The single unit form of acrylamide is toxic to the nervous system, a carcinogen in laboratory animals and a suspected carcinogen in humans. The multiple unit or polymeric form is not known to be toxic. Acrylamide is formed as a by-product of the Maillard reaction. The Maillard reaction is best known as a reaction that produces pleasant flavor, taste, and golden color in fried and baked foods; the reaction occurs between amines and carbonyl compounds, particularly reducing sugars and the amino acid asparagine. In the first step of the reaction, asparagine reacts with a reducing sugar, forming a Schiff’s base. From this compound, acrylamide is formed following a complex reaction pathway that includes decarboxylation and a multistage elimination reaction. Acrylamide formation in bakery products, investigated in a model system, showed that free asparagine was a limiting factor. Treatment of flours with asparaginase practically prevented acrylamide formation. Coffee drinking and smoking are other major sources apart from the human diet.
Verwenden
Over 90% of acrylamide is used to make polyacrylamides (PAMs), and the remaining 10% is used to make N-methylolacrylamide (NMA) and other monomers. Water treatment PAMs consumed 60% of the acrylamide; PAMs for pulp and paper production consume 20% of the acrylamide; and PAMs for mineral processing consume 10% of the acrylamide. Some of the specific uses of acrylamide are: In liquid-solid separation where acrylamide polymers act as flocculants and aids in mineral processing, waste treatment and water treatment. They also help reduce sludge volumes in these applications. As additives in the manufacture of paper and paper board products, leather and paint industries. In the paper industry PAMs act as retention aids during wet end processing and in wet strength additives. In the manufacture of synthetic resins for pigment binders for textile/leather industries, and In enhanced oil recovery. use in protein electrophoresis (PAGE), synthesis of dyes and copolymers for contact lenses. It is reasonably anticipated to be a hum an carcinogen.
Herstellung & Synthese
synthetische
The principal synthetic route to making acrylamide involves the hydration of acrylonitrile (ACRN). In this process an aqueous ACRN solution reacts over a copper-oxide-chromium oxide catalyst at approximately 100°C. Several other catalyst systems have been used, and most of them contain copper - in some form. The reaction step is followed by purification and concentration to a 50% solution in a vacuum evaporator. The yield of acrylamide from ACRN is 98%. The purification and concentration steps are costly and also involve the recycle of ACRN back to the reaction step. In the early part of the new century, a catalytic distillation process has been developed that converts almost 100% of the ACRN to acrylamide and allows concentration to occur in the same column where acrylamide is made. Therefore this process is less costly. Nitto Chemical (now Dia-Nitrix) introduced a biosynthetic route from ACRN to acrylamide in Japan in 1985. This process uses an immobilized nitrile hydratase biocatalyst that converts the ACRN solution to acrylamide with a yield of 99.5%. This high yield allows a concentrated acrylamide solution to be made without the need for ACRN recycle or solution concentration. This process therefore has lower energy costs.
