  2. Acrylonitrile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylonitrile

    A large amount of acrylonitrile (approximately 6500 tons) leaked from an industrial polymer plant owned by Aksa Akrilik after the violent 17th August 1999 earthquake in Turkey. Over 5000 people were affected and the exposed animals had died. [32] The leak was only noticed by the company 8 hours after the incident.

  3. National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Emissions...

    The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) are air pollution standards issued by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The standards, authorized by the Clean Air Act, are for pollutants not covered by the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) that may cause an increase in fatalities or in serious, irreversible, or incapacitating illness.

  4. Pesticide poisoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pesticide_poisoning

    The third type of poisoning is a long-term low-level exposure, which individuals are exposed to from sources such as pesticide residues in food as well as contact with pesticide residues in the air, water, soil, sediment, food materials, plants and animals. [1] [2] [3] [4]

  5. Polyacrylonitrile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyacrylonitrile

    Acrylonitrile is commonly employed as a comonomer with styrene, e.g. acrylonitrile, styrene and acrylate plastics. Labelling of items of clothing with acrylic (see acrylic fiber) means the polymer consists of at least 85% acrylonitrile as the monomer. A typical comonomer is vinyl acetate, which can be solution-spun readily to obtain fibers that ...

  6. Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylonitrile_butadiene...

    Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) (chemical formula (C 8 H 8) x · (C 4 H 6) y · (C 3 H 3 N) z) is a common thermoplastic polymer. Its glass transition temperature is approximately 105 °C (221 °F). [4] ABS is amorphous and therefore has no true melting point. ABS is a terpolymer made by polymerizing styrene and acrylonitrile in the ...

  7. Aksa (company) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aksa_(company)

    Approximately, 6500 tons of acrylonitrile leaked from an industrial polymer plant owned by Aksa Akrilik, due to pipes of storage units rupturing from the impact of the violent 17 August earthquake. Over 5000 people were affected, and the exposed animals had died. [4] The leak was only noticed by Aksa 8 hours after the incident.

  8. Nitrile rubber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrile_rubber

    IG Farben plant under construction approximately 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) from Auschwitz, 1942. The Buna-Werke was a slave labor factory located near Auschwitz and financed by IG Farben. The raw materials came from the Polish coalfields. [4] Buna rubber was named by BASF A.G., and through 1988 Buna was a remaining trade name of nitrile rubber ...

  9. Acrylic fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylic_fiber

    The polymer is formed by free-radical polymerization in aqueous suspension. The fiber is produced by dissolving the polymer in a solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) or aqueous sodium thiocyanate, metering it through a multi-hole spinneret and coagulating the resultant filaments in an aqueous solution of the same solvent (wet spinning) or evaporating the solvent in a stream of heated ...
