Acetoacetanilide for the environment and hunman health
Acetoacetanilide, guidechem, 102-01-2
Acetoacetanilide is a chemical intermediate used in the
production of pigments. It is a kind of
white to off-white powder, with Molecular Formula:C10H11NO2 and
Molecular Weight:177.2. It
is stable, combustible,incompatible with strong oxidizing
agents. Keep container closed when not
in use. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool,
dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances. The CAS Registry Number is
102-01-2.
Acetoacetanilide is used as intermediate for the manufacture of
organic pigments and dyestuffs. It
is then isolated and transported under closed conditions to
pigment manufacturing facilities. There
is no known direct or consumer use. Non-aqueouswastes from
manufacture are incinerated, and
aqueous wastes are sent to a wastewater treatment facility for
treatment.
For the environment, Acetoacetanilide(CAS NO: 102-01-2) is of
low concern to aquatic organisms
and is considered inherently biodegradable. The predicted
environmental concentration is lower
than the predicted no effect concentration. It is therefore
currently considered of low potential risk
and low priority for further work.
It is a solid with a low vapor pressure therefore; substantial
airborne concentrations are not likely.
Solubility studies indicate that it in the environment will
partition into water, where
biodegradation then occurs. Data from environmental toxicity
studies indicate that Acetacetanilide
is of low concern for aquatic or plant species.
Emissions to the terrestrial environment are not considered, as
there is no direct release to soil and
no emission to air. Based on the results from the use emission
scenarios it can be concluded that
Acetoacetanilide will not cause any harmful effects on the
environment during the whole life cycle.
With regards to the proposed emission scenarios, it is of no
immediate concern for the
environment.
For the hunman health, the intended uses of Acetoacetanilide are
industrial only, and there are no
downstream uses that would result in exposure of consumers. It
is used as intermediate and the
amount of residual starting material in the end products is
negligible.
Considering the work pattern in the uses of Acetoacetanilide and
the non-relevance of indirect
exposure it can be excluded that workers are exposed to
Acetoacetanilide from more than one
emission source. According to the Exposure Scenarios,
Acetoacetanilide does not pose an
unacceptable risk to human health. Overall the substance is of
no immediate concern for man
when used within the boundaries of the operational controls and
risk management measures
described for its uses.
