Acrylonitrile is a colorless, flammable liquid with a pungent odor. It is produced industrially by the catalytic ammoxidation of propene. Acrylonitrile is a versatile monomer used in the production of numerous polymers, including acrylic fibers, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) resins, and nitrile rubber. It is also used in the manufacture of other chemicals, such as acrylamide and adiponitrile. Acrylonitrile is a known human carcinogen and has been linked to various health effects, including respiratory problems, skin irritation, and nervous system disorders. Due to its widespread use in various industrial applications, the environmental impact of acrylonitrile has been extensively studied, particularly its potential for air and water pollution. Research efforts focus on understanding the toxicity, environmental fate, and safe handling of acrylonitrile.'
