 | | Propionaldehyde is used in the manufacture of plastics, in the synthesis of rubber chemicals, and as a disinfectant and preservative. |
 | | Exposure to propionaldehyde may occur from ambient air, where it is released from manufacturing facilities, from municipal waste incinerators, and from the combustion of wood, gasoline, diesel fuel, and polyethylenes. |
 | | Acute animal tests in rats and mice have shown propionaldehyde to have moderate acute toxicity from inhalation, oral, and dermal exposures. |
