Regulatory evidence across markets

None of the 13 markets tracked here holds an imported rule under the name ACETANILID.

That is a statement about this inventory, not about the law: no imported rule is not evidence that a substance is permitted. A rule may exist under a different name, under a CAS or EC number this glossary entry does not carry, or in a dataset not yet imported.

  • First Aid: EYES: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.; SKIN: IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing. Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water. If symptoms such as redness or irritation develop, IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital for treatment.; INHALATION: IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air. If symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop, call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital. Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown atmosphere. Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) shou Source: CAMEO Chemicals

  • Environmental Bioconcentration: An estimated BCF value of 4.5 was calculated for acetanilide(SRC), using an experimental log Kow of 1.16(1,SRC) and a recommended regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF value suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a recommended classification scheme(1), a measured Koc value of 27(2,SRC), indicates that acetanilide will have very high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of acetanilide from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be important(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 6.2X10-9 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), using a fragment constant estimation method(3). The potential for volatilization of acetanilide from dry soil surfaces may not exist(SRC) based on the extrapolated vapor pressure of 1.2X10-3 mm Hg(4,SRC). Limited data suggest that acetanilide may undergo microbial degradation in soil. Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: AQUATIC FATE: Based on a recommended classification scheme(1), a measured Koc value of 27(2,SRC),indicates that acetanilide is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment in water(SRC). Acetanilide is not expected to volatilize from water surfaces(1,SRC) based on an estimated Henry's Law constant of 6.2X10-9 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(3). According to a classification scheme(5), an estimated BCF value of 4.5(1,SRC), from an experimental log Kow(4,SRC), suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Acetanilide should biodegrade rapidly in aquatic systems. Hydrolysis of acetanilide is not expected to be an environmentally important removal process in aquatic systems(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), acetanilide, which has an extrapolated vapor pressure of 1.2X10-3 mm Hg at 25 °C(2,SRC), will exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase acetanilide is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be about 1.3 days(3,SRC).
