| hazards summary | Acetamide is used primarily as a solvent and a plasticizer. Workers may be exposed in the plastics and chemical industries. It causes mild skin irritation from acute (short-term) exposure. No information is available on the chronic (long-term), reproductive/developmental, or carcinogenic effects of acetamide in humans. EPA has not classified acetamide for carcinogenicity.There are no human data, but long-term feeding studies in rats using high doses of acetamide (up to 5% in diet) produced liver damage and hepatocellular carcinomas. . . . high doses producing maternal toxicity may cause developmental toxicity. The acute toxicity after ingestion is relatively low: an LD50 of 1000-7000 mg/kg in rats and mice. A skin and eye irritant. |
| toxicity summary | IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Acetamide is a solid. It is used as a solvent and stabilizer, accelerator in the estimation of bilirubin, antidote against monofluoroacetamide poisoning, and humectant for paper. HUMAN EXPOSURE AND TOXICITY: There are no data available. ANIMAL STUDIES: When acetamide was administered at a concentration of 5% in the diet to 99 male rats, with 2 rats returned to a control diet each week, liver tumors were found after treatment for 14-40 weeks in 22/81 rats. Acetamide-treated rats developed neoplastic nodules and hepatocellular carcinomas. The incidence, speed of onset, and frequency of metastases were greater in males than in females. Acetamide had the least toxic effects in regards to teratogenicity and embryotoxicity, compared to its derivatives. Acetamide produced morphological transformation in Syrian hamster embryo cells without metabolic activation. ECOTOXICITY STUDIES: Acetamide exhibited a selective damaging action on Entosiphon sulcatum. |
