Acrylamide

ACRYLAMIDE ENVIRONMENTAL TRANSPORT:

Acrylamide, as a reactive compound in general, has a relatively short duration in its different environmental states. Toxic releases of monomeric acrylamide in the environment are primarily caused from the production of the safer polymerized form acrylamide.

Environmental acrylamide release occurs in the form of wastewater, commercial production as well in the following:

• Paper processing
• Sewage
• Well grouting
• Electrophoresis
• Disposal of acrylamide solids
• Dam and Tunnel Formation
• Synthesis of chemical dyes
• Adhesives
• Sewage
• Ore processing
