Toxicity Profile

Route of ExposureInhalation ; oral ; dermal ; eye contact .
Mechanism of ToxicityEthyl acrylate causes gastric lesions depending upon upon the rate of chemical delivery to stomach tissue as a result of interaction of the parent molecule or metabolites (other than hydrolysis products), with subcellular sites in stomach tissue .
MetabolismEthyl acrylate is hydrolized to acrylic acid in liver, kidney, and lung homogenates. It is suggested to bind to glutathione spontaneaoulsy and after catalysis by liver glutathione-S-transferase. The major metabolites of ethyl acrylate are mercapturic acids od ethyl acrylate and acrylic acid. Three metabolites were identified in a study: 3-hydroxypropionic acid and two mercapturic acids. N-Acetyl-S-(2-carboxyethyl)cysteine arises by glutathione conjugation of acrylic acid, while N-acetyl-S-(2-carboxyethyl)cysteine ethyl ester derives from the conjugation of intact ethyl acrylate.(A347, A635, A664, ).
Toxicity ValuesLD50: 760-1020 mg/kg (Oral, Rat) LC50: 1000-2000 ppm over 4 hours (Inhalation, Rat)
Lethal DoseNone
Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification)2B, possibly carcinogenic to humans.
Minimum Risk LevelNone
Health EffectsThickened forestomach mucosa, forestomach inflammation and lesions, and abdominal adhesions; swelling of renal tubules and the liver, minor lesions on the liver and lung, and increased kidney weight may result from poisoning (L1242).
TreatmentFor eye contamination, flush eyes immediately with water. Irrigate each eye continuously with normal saline during transport. Do not use emetics. For ingestion, rinse mouth and administer 5 ml/kg up to 200 ml of water for dilution if the patient can swallow, has a strong gag reflex, and does not drool. Administer activated charcoal.
