Analyses of 40 years have shown the organic content of these meteorites to be materials as diverse as kerogen-like macromolecules and simpler soluble compounds such as amino acids and polyols. Many meteoritic molecules have identical counterpart in the biosphere and, in a primitive group of meteorites, represent the majority of their carbon. Most of the compounds in meteorites have isotopic compositions that date their formation to presolar environments and reveal a long and active cosmochemical evolution of the biogenic elements. Whether this evolution resumed on the Earth to foster biogenesis after exogenous deliveryof meteoritic and cometary materials is not known, yet, the selective abundance of biomolecule precur- sors evident in some cosmic environments and the unique L-asymmetry of some meteoritic amino acids are suggestive of their possible contribution to terrestrial molecular evolution.

  • Polymer Effect on Molecular Recognition. Enhancement of Molecular-Shape Selectivity for Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons by Poly(Acrylonitrile)
    Polymer Journal, Vol.34, No. 6, pp 437—442 (2002) Polymer Effect on Molecular Recognition. Enhancement of Molecular-Shape Selectivity for Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons by Poly(acrylonitrile) Makoto TAKAFUJI, Wei DONG, Yoshihiro GOTO, Toshihiko SAKURAI, ∗ † Shoji NAGAOKA, and Hirotaka IHARA Department of Applied Chemistry & Biochemistry, Faculty of Engineering, Kumamoto University, Kumamoto 860–8555, Japan ∗Kumamoto Industrial Research Institute, Kumamoto 862–0901, Japan (Received December 10, 2001; Accepted April 25, 2002) ABSTRACT: Poly(acrylonitrile) immobilized onto porous silica (Sil-ANn) was prepared to evaluate the effect of polymerization degree of poly(acrylonitrile) on selective interaction with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The HPLC using the packed column (Sil-ANn) and an aqueous solution as a mobile phase showed higher selectivity for structural isomers of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons compared with simply cyanopropylated silica (Sil-CN) and alkylated silica (Sil-C4). It was considered that silica-supported poly(acrylonitrile) recognized molecular aromaticity of π-electron con- taining compounds rather than molecular hydrophobicity. Furthermore, similar results were obtained in the selectivity towards geometrical isomers such as trans- and cis-stilbenes or triphenylene and o-terphenyl and structural isomers such as o-, m-, p-terphenyls. Also the separation factors increased with an increase in polymerization degree of ANn. This paper discusses that polymeric structures enhance the selectivity. KEY WORDS Polymer Grafting

  • Acrylonitrile
    Acrylonitrile 107-13-1 Hazard Summary Exposure to acrylonitrile is primarily occupational: it is used in the manufacture of acrylic acid and modacrylic fibers. Acute (short-term) exposure of workers to acrylonitrile has been observed to cause mucous membrane irritation, headaches, dizziness, and nausea. No information is available on the reproductive or developmental effects of acrylonitrile in humans. Based on limited evidence in humans and evidence in rats, EPA has classified acrylonitrile as a probable human carcinogen (Group B1). Please Note: The main sources of information for this fact sheet are EPA's Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) (4), which contains information on inhalation chronic toxicity of acrylonitrile and the RfC and the carcinogenic effects of acrylonitrile including the unit cancer risk for inhalation exposure, EPA's Health Effects Assessment for Acrylonitrile (6), and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry's (ATSDR's) Toxicological Profile for Acrylonitrile (1). Uses Acrylonitrile is primarily used in the manufacture of acrylic and modacrylic fibers. It is also used as a raw material in the manufacture of plastics (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene and styrene-acrylonitrile resins), adiponitrile, acrylamide, and nitrile rubbers and barrier resins. (1,6) Sources and Potential Exposure Human exposure to acrylonitrile appears to be primarily occupational, via inhalation. (1) Acrylonitrile may be released to the ambient air during its manufacture and use. (1) Assessing Personal Exposure Acrylonitrile

    ACETONE 1 Toxicological Profile for Acetone Draft for Public Comment July 2021 ***DRAFT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT*** ACETONE ii DISCLAIMER Use of trade names is for identification only and does not imply endorsement by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, the Public Health Service, or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This information is distributed solely for the purpose of pre dissemination public comment under applicable information quality guidelines. It has not been formally disseminated by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. It does not represent and should not be construed to represent any agency determination or policy. ***DRAFT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT*** ACETONE iii FOREWORD This toxicological profile is prepared in accordance with guidelines developed by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The original guidelines were published in the Federal Register on April 17, 1987. Each profile will be revised and republished as necessary. The ATSDR toxicological profile succinctly characterizes the toxicologic and adverse health effects information for these toxic substances described therein. Each peer-reviewed profile identifies and reviews the key literature that describes a substance's toxicologic properties. Other pertinent literature is also presented, but is described in less detail than the key studies. The profile is not intended to be an exhaustive document; however, more comprehensive sources of specialty information are referenced. The focus of the profiles is on health and toxicologic information; therefore, each toxicological profile begins with a relevance to public health discussion which would allow a public health professional to make a real-time determination of whether the presence of a particular substance in the environment poses a potential threat to human health.
