Medical Management Guidelines for Crotonaldehyde and health effects

Crotonaldehyde is a transparent, colourless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odour. 2-Butenal and 3-Methylacrolein are two other names for it. It is exceedingly combustible at room temperature and emits poisonous fumes. Crotonaldehyde can be found in minute levels in numerous foods, as well as in the emissions of particular flora and volcanoes. Crotonaldehyde is commercially generated through aldol condensation of acetaldehyde. It has a low water solubility. However, it dissolves readily in organic solvents such as alcohols and ether. Crotonic acid and sorbic acid are largely made from crotonaldehyde through oxidation.

People who are simply exposed to crotonaldehyde vapour do not represent a risk of subsequent contamination.

People with liquid crotonaldehyde on their clothing or skin can inadvertently contaminate others through direct touch or off-gassing vapour.

Crotonaldehyde is a clear, colourless to straw-colored liquid with a powerful, stifling odour at room temperature. It is highly combustible and emits hazardous fumes when burned (carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide). It's very flammable and produces dangerous quantities even at ambient temperature. Vapors may travel to an ignite source and then flash back. Crotonaldehyde's odour serves as a sufficient warning of dangerous quantities.

Crotonaldehyde is extremely hazardous in every way. The skin, respiratory tract, and mucous membranes become inflamed and irritated as a result of exposure. After inhalation, delayed pulmonary edoema can ensue. Oral exposure causes systemic effects in animals, but no such effects have been documented in humans.

 

Health Consequences

Crotonaldehyde irritates the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes badly. Crotonaldehyde inhalation can cause respiratory discomfort and delayed pulmonary edoema. Chemical burns can happen from contact with the skin or eyes, causing discomfort and lacrimation.

Crotonaldehyde is extremely reactive, but the mechanism by which it causes harmful effects is unknown. There was no evidence on whether the health consequences of crotonaldehyde on children varied from those on adults. Crotonaldehyde exposure causes significant respiratory problems, and people who already have breathing problems or skin illness may be more susceptible to its effects.
