Determination of Acrylamide in Water

Acrylamide is a small (MW = 71 g/mol) water-soluble (215 g/100 mL at 30 °C) molecule used in the production of polyacrylamide and its copolymers and is used as a flocculant in wastewater treatment, drinking water treatment and ore and sand mining.

Acrylamide can be formed as a result of processes such as frying, baking and roasting in food production, and it is also analyzed in the environment and drinking water. Acrylamide, which causes environmental pollution, can be caused by being thrown onto land or by leaching the remaining monomer (acrylamide) from polyacrylamide. It can cause environmental pollution by passing into water from water treatment systems and joint fillers.

You may be exposed to acrylamide through skin contact, inhalation of dust and vapor. Acrylamide measurement is carried out to prevent it from causing health problems.
