Description of key information
Published handbook data reports the vapor density of acetonitrile to be 1.42 (air = 1), the saturation concentration in air to be 163 g/m3at 20 oC and 249 g/m3at 30 oC and that acetonitrile emits highly toxic fumes of hydrogen cyanide when heated to decomposition, or reacted with acids or oxidizing agents
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
