Limited data are available on the reproductive or developmental effects of acrolein.
No reproductive effects were observed in one inhalation animal study. Birth defects were observed in other animal studies, but only when acrolein was injected directly into the embryonic tissue. No human cancer data are available for acrolein. The animal cancer data are limited, with one study reporting an increased incidence of adrenocortical tumors in female rats exposed to acrolein in the drinking water. EPA has classified acrolein as a Group C, possible human carcinogen.
