ACNgehalte
ACNgehalte, commonly referred to as acrylonitrile content, refers to the concentration of acrylonitrile (C₃H₃N), a highly reactive organic compound, present in a given sample, typically in materials like tobacco, plastics, or synthetic fibers. Acrylonitrile is a colorless, flammable liquid with a sweet odor, widely used in the production of synthetic rubber, plastics, and textiles. In the context of tobacco, ACNgehalte is particularly relevant due to its potential health implications.
Acrylonitrile is classified as a probable human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer
Regulatory bodies, such as the European Union and the United States, have established guidelines to limit acrylonitrile
Testing for ACNgehalte involves analytical methods such as gas chromatography or high-performance liquid chromatography, which can
