Layman's explanation:	Acrylonitrile is an industrial chemical used to manufacture fibers, resins, plastics, and rubbers to produce various consumer goods. During its production, use, and disposal, it is mainly released to the air, due to a high evaporation rate, but also to soil and water. By inhalation, ingestion, or contact, acrylonitrile is toxic at high levels, severely affecting the nervous system, respiratory system, skin, and eyes. It causes cancer in animals and is a suspected human carcinogen. Although acrylonitrile is produced on a large scale, it reacts with chemicals and sunlight when released to the air, thus has a half-life less than 50 hrs. When released to soil or water, bacteria typically degrade it. Therefore, the environment is not permanently affected when the chemical is regulated.
