Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Irritating vapor generated when heated. (USCG, 1999)

Excerpt from ERG Guide 153 [Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Combustible)]:；Combustible material: may burn but does not ignite readily. When heated, vapors may form explosive mixtures with air: indoors, outdoors and sewers explosion hazards. Those substances designated with a (P) may polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire. Corrosives in contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may pollute waterways. Substance may be transported in a molten form. (ERG, 2024)

Excerpt from ERG Guide 132 [Flammable Liquids - Corrosive]:；Flammable/combustible material. May be ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks, etc.). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Those substances designated with a (P) may polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids will float on water. (ERG, 2024)

SRP: The most favorable course of action is to use an alternative chemical product with less inherent propensity for occupational harm/injury/toxicity or environmental contamination. Recycle any unused portion of the material for its approved use or return it to the manufacturer or supplier. Ultimate disposal of the chemical must consider: the material's impact on air quality; potential migration in soil or water; effects on animal and plant life; and conformance with environmental and public health regulations.

SRP: Wastewater from contaminant suppression, cleaning of protective clothing/equipment, or contaminated sites should be contained and evaluated for subject chemical or decomposition product concentrations. Concentrations shall be lower than applicable environmental discharge or disposal criteria. Alternatively, pretreatment and/or discharge to a permitted wastewater treatment facility is acceptable only after review by the governing authority and assurance that "pass through" violations will not occur. Due consideration shall be given to remediation worker exposure (inhalation, dermal and ingestion) as well as fate during treatment, transfer and disposal. If it is not practicable to manage the chemical in this fashion, it must be evaluated in accordance with EPA 40 CFR Part 261, specifically Subpart B, in order to determine the appropriate local, state and federal requirements for disposal.

Burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber but exert extra care in igniting as this material is highly flammable. Offer surplus and non-recyclable solutions to a licensed disposal company. Contact a licensed professional waste disposal service to dispose of this material. Contaminated packaging: dispose of as unused product.

Acetic acid was qualitatively detected in 2 of 12 human milk samples collected from volunteers in four US cities(1). Acetic acid at 19.9 mg/day was measured from non-specified human emissions(2). Humans exude <90mg/day of volatile fatty acids in exhaled breath and perspiration, 80% of which is acetic acid(3); in a confined environment, as much as 15-20 mg/cu m can accumulate and such concentrations can become serious in submarines or space capsules(3).

In cases of skin or eye exposure, the area should be flushed with water and burns covered with dry, sterile dressings after decontamination. If ingested, rinse mouth and administer 5 mL/kg up to 200 mL of water for dilution. Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist respiration if necessary. (A569)

Pain increases the rate, frequency, or intensity of some behaviors (eg, withdrawal responses) and suppresses other behaviors (eg, feeding). /The study is/ developing assays to test analgesic drug candidates using measurements of pain-suppressed rather than pain-elicited behaviors. Such assays may model important aspects of clinical pain and provide a means for distinguishing true analgesics from drugs that produce motor impairment. The present study compared effects of the mu opioid analgesic morphine and the nonanalgesic neuroleptic haloperidol on intraperitoneal acetic acid-induced writhing (a pain-elicited behavior) and suppression of feeding behavior (a pain-suppressed behavior). In feeding studies, C57BL/6J mice were given access to a dish containing 8 mL Ensure (trade mark) liquid food (0-100% in water) during daily sessions (7.5-120 min). Levels of consumption were dependent on both Ensure concentration and session duration. Intraperitoneal injection of acetic acid (0.10-0.56%) produced a time- and concentration-dependent decrease in Ensure consumption. Morphine (1 mg/kg) prevented both acid-induced writhing and acid-induced suppression of feeding, whereas the dopamine antagonist haloperidol inhibited writhing without preventing acid-induced suppression of feeding. The effects of morphine were time-dependent, selective for acid-suppressed feeding, and naltrexone-reversible. These results suggest that assays of pain-suppressed behaviors may complement assays of pain-elicited behaviors in preclinical studies of candidate analgesics...

Amylin is a member of calcitonin or calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) family. Immunohistochemical study revealed a dense network of amylin-immunoreactive (irAMY) cell processes in the superficial dorsal horn of the mice. Numerous dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and trigeminal ganglion cells expressed moderate to strong irAMY. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) revealed amylin receptor mRNA in the mouse spinal cord, brain stem, cortex, hypothalamus and hippocampus. The nociceptive or antinociceptive effects of amylin were evaluated in the acetic acid-induced writhing test. Amylin (0.1, 0.5 and 1 mg/kg, intraperitoneally (i.p.) or 1-10 microg, intrathecally (i.t.)) reduced the number of writhes in a dose-dependent manner. Pretreatment of the mice with the amylin receptor antagonist salmon calcitonin (8-32), either by i.p. or i.t., antagonized the effect of amylin on acetic acid-induced writhing test. Locomotor activity was not significantly modified by amylin injected either i.p. (0.01-1 mg/kg) or i.t. (1-10 microg). Measurement of c-fos mRNA by RT-PCR or proteins by Western blot showed that the levels were upregulated in the spinal cord of mice injected with acetic acid and the increase was attenuated by pretreatment with amylin (10 microg, i.t.). Collectively, /these/ result demonstrates that irAMY is expressed in DRG neurons with their cell processes projecting to the superficial layers of the dorsal horn, and that the peptide by interacting with amylin receptors in the spinal cord may be antinociceptive.

INTRODUCTION: Increased free-radical production, decreased antioxidant capacity, and excessive inflammation are well-known features in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease. Melatonin is a powerful antioxidant and a scavenger of hydroxyl radicals. Melatonin has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory activities in tissues. /This/ study objective is to investigate the effects of melatonin on tissue inflammatory activities using an ulcerative colitis (UC) model induced by acetic acid (AA) in rats. METHODS: Wistar rats (n = 32) were divided into four groups. AA-induced colitis was performed in two of the groups, while the other two groups were injected with saline intrarectally. One of the AA-induced colitis groups and one of the control groups were administered 100 mg/kg/day melatonin intraperitoneally, and the pair groups were given saline. After 4 days, colonic changes were evaluated biochemically by measuring proinflammatory cytokines [tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1beta, and IL-6], myeloperoxidase (MPO), malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels in tissue homogenates and by histopathological examination. RESULTS: AA caused colonic mucosal injury, whereas melatonin suppressed these changes in the AA-induced colitis group (P < 0.001). AA administration resulted in increased TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-6, MPO, and MDA levels, and decreased GSH and SOD levels, whereas melatonin administration reversed these effects (all P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The present study proposes that melatonin has a dual action as an effective anti-inflammatory and an antioxidant, and may be a hopeful therapeutic agent for UC.

In the present study, the effect of chronic oral administration of curcumin in the presence or absence of morphine and noloxone was investigated on the visceral nociception induced by acetic acid in rats. Intraperitoneal injection of acetic acid (1 mL, 2%) produced contractions in the abdominal musculature (writhes). The latency time to the beginning of the first writhe was measured and the total number of writhes in the 1 hr after acetic acid injection was counted. The latency time to the beginning of the first writhe was significantly (p < 0.05) increased and the number of writhes was significantly (p < 0.05) decreased by curcumin (20 and 40 mg/kg body weight). The same results were obtained after subcutaneous injection of morphine (1 mg/kg b.wt.). Naloxone at the dose of 1 mg/kg body weight had no effect on pain intensity. Curcumin significantly (p < 0.05) enhanced the effect of morphine on the visceral pain responses, however did not reverse the effect of naloxone. Present data suggest that in the acetic acid-induced visceral nociception of rats, curcumin may produce an antinociceptive effect and the endogenous analgesic opioid system is involved in the curcumin-induced antinociception.

Nine out bred white male rats weighing approximately 100 g were used in /this/ study. Rats were given either N-nitrosarcosin ethyl ester (NSEE) alone, NSEE with the acetic acid solution, or the acetic acid solution alone. doses (0.5 mL of 3% water solution of acetic acid (about 60 mg/kg bw/treatment) were given by intubation into the esophagus 3 times per week. Animals were killed by ether inhalation after 8 months of experiments and autopsied. As expected, rats treated with the carcinogen NSEE had high incidences of pre-neoplastic lesions of the esophagus and forestomach, as well as benign tumors, carcinomas and squamous cell cancer. Prolonged administration of acetic acid in combination with NSEE resulted in an increase in the number of benign and malignant tumors and carcinomas in the esophagus. Prolonged administration of acetic acid alone did not induce tumors. All nine of these rats, however, did experience hyperplasia in the esophagus and forestomach.

Concentrated acetic acid is corrosive and can cause skin burns, permanent eye damage, and irritation to the mucous membranes. Ingestion can cause severe damage to the digestive system and a potentially lethal change in the acidity of the blood. (L1885)

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an experimentally derived Koc value of 1.0(2,3), indicates that acetic acid is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). No detectable sorption was measured for acetic acid using the OECD Guideline 106 method in three different soils(4). The pKa of acetic acid is 4.76(5), indicating that this compound will exist predominantly in anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(6). Volatilization of acetic acid from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given a Henry's Law constant of 1.43X10-7 atm-cu m/mole(7). Acetic acid is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 15.7 mm Hg at 25 °C(8). Using a modified Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) protocol, 75% degradation was reported in 14 days using garden soil as an inoculum(9), indicating that biodegradation is an important environmental fate process in soil(SRC).

AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), a Koc value of 1.0(2,3), indicates that acetic acid is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected(4) based upon a Henry's Law constant of 1.43X10-7 atm-cu m/mole(5). The pKa of acetic acid is 4.76(6), indicating that this compound will exist predominantly in anion form at an environmental pH range of 5-9. According to a classification scheme(7), an estimated BCF of 3(SRC), from its log Kow of -0.71(8) and a regression-derived equation(9), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Hydrolysis is not expected to be an important environmental fate process(SRC) since this compound lacks functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions(4). Utilizing the Japanese MITI test, a 74% of theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using activated sludge(10) indicates that biodegradation is an important environmenal fate process in water(SRC).

ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), acetic acid, which has a vapor pressure of 15.7 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. The pure compound is a solid below 68 °F(3). Particulate-phase acetic acid will be removed from the atmosphere by wet and dry deposition. Vapor-phase acetic acid 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 22 days(SRC), calculated from its measured rate constant of 7.4X10-13 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(4). Particulate-phase acetic acid will be removed from the atmosphere by wet and dry deposition. Acetic acid does not absorb light with wavelengths >290 nm(5) and, therefore, is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC). Acetic acid occurs in rainwater, cloud water and fog(6-8) and can be removed from the atmosphere by wet deposition(SRC).

Acetic acid was identified as the major volatile constituent of commercial brown sugars(1); concentrations ranging from 31-827 ppm were detected in 26 brown sugars collected worldwide(1). The source of the acetic acid was found to be bacterial action in recycled sweet waters containing low levels of sucrose(1). Acetic acid was qualitatively detected as a volatile component of fried bacon, smoked pork, baked potatoes, soy sauce, roasted filbert nuts and frankfurters(2-6). Mean acetic acid concentrations of 39.6-116.6 were detected in several honeydew honey extracts(7).

Acetic acid was measured as a volatile compound in popped popcorn at a concentration of 4000 ug/kg(1), and in the extract of edible Korean chamchwi(2), cured pork(3), and volatiles from boiled short-necked clams, clams, and corbicula(4) at unreported concentrations. Volatile compounds from Bisbee Delicious apples included acetic acid present at concentrations from 25.6 to 3505.0 picoliter/kg-hr depending on the date of harvest(5). Acetic acid was reported in 7 different wines, ciders, and dessert wines and brandies from Germany at concentrations from 80 to 363 mg/L(6).

Twenty-two acids in ground roast coffees and instant coffees were determined by GLC (gas liquid chromatography) of their silyl derivatives (after preseparation by gel electrophoresis or isotachophoresis). The contribution to the total acidity (which was estimated by titration to pH 8 after cation exchange of the coffee solutions) was calculated for each individual acid. The acids contribute 67% (roast coffee) and 72% (instant coffee) to the total acidity. Citric acid (12.2% in roast coffee/10.7% in instant coffee), acetic acid (11.2%/8.8%) and the high MW acids (8%/9%) contribute to the total acidity.

IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Acetic acid is a colorless liquid or solid, having a pungent characteristic odor, and when diluted in water an acidic taste. Glacial acetic acid is a 99% active chemical. It is used as an acidifier, flavoring agent, for the prevention of rope in baking, and as a solvent. Acetic acid is used as a laboratory reagent in chemical and biochemical analysis, in field testing of lead fumes, vinyl chloride determination, uric acid in urine, aniline vapors, and separation of gases. In addition, acetic acid is used in pesticide formulations as a herbicide to controls weeds on fruits, vegetables, ornamentals and turf. It is also a component of the hydraulic fracturing fluids preventing precipitation of metal oxides (iron control). Registered for use in the U.S., but approved pesticide uses may change periodically, so federal, state and local authorities must be consulted for currently approved uses. Three to 5% acetic acid is commonly used in the field of gynecology for colposcopic examinations of the cervix. It gives an 'acetowhite' effect that may assist clinicians in identifying neoplastic areas. HUMAN EXPOSURE AND TOXICITY: Acetic acid is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and through the lungs and almost completely oxidized by tissues. The metabolic pathways are reasonably well known and involve the formation of ketone bodies. As little as 1.0 mL of glacial acetic acid has resulted in perforation of the esophagus. During acetic acid dialysis, patients showed a frequent onset of sudden hypotension and arrhythmia with concomitant symptoms of the so-called disequilibrium syndrome. Extreme eye and nasal irritation has occurred at concentrations in excess of 25 ppm and conjunctivitis from concentrations below 10 ppm has been reported. Glacial acetic acid has caused permanent corneal opacification. Ingestion of 200 mL of an 80% solution of acetic acid caused repeated shock due to myocardial infarction and massive intestinal bleeding led to an or

Acetic acid is toxic due to its corrosive nature. In addition to causing skin burns and irritation to the mucous membranes, ingestion can result in severe damage to the digestive system and a potentially lethal change in the acidity of the blood. (L1885)

Although acetic acid has been shown to induce apoptosis in yeast, the exact apoptotic mechanisms remain unknown. Here, /the study examined/ the effects of acetic acid treatment on yeast cells by 2-DE, revealing alterations in the levels of proteins directly or indirectly linked with the target of rapamycin (TOR) pathway: amino-acid biosynthesis, transcription/translation machinery, carbohydrate metabolism, nucleotide biosynthesis, stress response, protein turnover and cell cycle. The increased levels of proteins involved in amino-acid biosynthesis presented a counteracting response to a severe intracellular amino-acid starvation induced by acetic acid. Deletion of GCN4 and GCN2 encoding key players of general amino-acid control (GAAC) system caused a higher resistance to acetic acid indicating an involvement of Gcn4p/Gcn2p in the apoptotic signaling. Involvement of the TOR pathway in acetic acid-induced apoptosis was also reflected by the higher survival rates associated to a terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL)-negative phenotype and lower reactive oxygen species levels of Deltator1 cells. In addition, deletion mutants for several downstream mediators of the TOR pathway revealed that apoptotic signaling involves the phosphatases Pph21p and Pph22p but not Sit4p. Altogether, /these/ results indicate that GAAC and TOR pathways (Tor1p) are involved in the signaling of acetic acid-induced apoptosis.

Acetic acid was found to have actions on urinary bladder smooth muscle in /the/ routine ion channel screening assays. Numerous studies have examined the mechanisms of bladder irritation by acetic acid; however, the direct effect of acetic acid on ion channels in detrusor smooth muscle cells has not been evaluated. /The study/ used whole-cell patch-clamp techniques to examine the effect of acetic acid on large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels (BKCa) from guinea pig detrusor smooth muscle cells and CHO cells expressing recombinant human BKCaalphabeta1 (CHO BKCaalphabeta1) and human BKCaalpha (CHO BKCaalpha). Acetic acid activated BKCa currents in a concentration-dependent (0.01% to 0.05% v/v) manner in all the cell systems studied. Acetic acid (0.05%) increased BKCa current at +30 mV by 2764 +/- 918% (n=8) in guinea pig detrusor smooth muscle cells. Acetic acid (0.03%) shifted the V1/2 of conductance-voltage curve by 64 +/- 14 (n=5), 128 +/- 14 (n=5), and 126 +/- 12 mV (n=4) in CHO BKCaalpha, CHO BKCaalphabeta1 and detrusor smooth muscle cells, respectively. This effect of acetic acid was found to be independent of pH and was also not produced by its salt form, sodium acetate. Automated patch-clamp experiments also showed similar activation of CHO BKCaalphabeta1 by acetic acid. In conclusion, acetic acid directly activates BKCa channels in detrusor smooth muscle cells. This novel study necessitates caution while interpreting the results from acetic acid bladder irritation model.

/It was/ previously shown that acetic acid activates a mitochondria-dependent death process in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and that the ADP/ATP carrier (AAC) is required for mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization and cytochrome c release. Mitochondrial fragmentation and degradation have also been shown in response to this death stimulus. Herein, /the study/ show that autophagy is not active in cells undergoing acetic acid-induced apoptosis and is therefore not responsible for mitochondrial degradation. Furthermore, /the study/ found that the vacuolar protease Pep4p and the AAC proteins have a role in mitochondrial degradation using yeast genetic approaches. Depletion and overexpression of Pep4p, an orthologue of human cathepsin D, delays and enhances mitochondrial degradation respectively. Moreover, Pep4p is released from the vacuole into the cytosol in response to acetic acid treatment. AAC-deleted cells also show a decrease in mitochondrial degradation in response to acetic acid and are not defective in Pep4p release. Therefore, AAC proteins seem to affect mitochondrial degradation at a step subsequent to Pep4p release, possibly triggering degradation through their involvement in mitochondrial permeabilization. The finding that both mitochondrial AAC proteins and the vacuolar Pep4p interfere with mitochondrial degradation suggests a complex regulation and interplay between mitochondria and the vacuole in yeast programmed cell death.

Acetic acid ... is readily metabolized by most tissues and may give rise to the production of ketone bodies as intermediates. In vitro, acetate is incorporated into phospholipids, neutral lipids, steroids, sterols, and saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in a variety of human and animal tissue preparations. ...Metabolism of 14(C) acetate in mice results in radioactivity associated with the protein fractions of plasma and most major tissues.

In the body, acetic acid is partially converted into formic acid.

When dogs were administered large doses (1-2 g/kg ip or sc) of sodium acetate, only small amounts appeared in the urine, which is evidence of the rapid utilization of acetic acid.

Acetic Acid is a known human metabolite of acetaldehyde.

Acetic acid is is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and through the lungs. It is completely oxidized by the tissues, with metabolism involving the formation of ketone bodies. The products of acetic acid are used in the formation of glycogen, as intermediates of carbohydrates and fatty acid synthesis, and in cholesterol synthesis. In addition, acetic acid participates in the acetylation of amines and formation of proteins of plasma, liver, kidney, gut mucosa, muscle, and brain. (L1886)
