29611-03-8 Usage
Description
Aflatoxin R0 is a metabolite of the carcinogenic mycotoxin aflatoxin B1 . Aflatoxin R0 is produced by metabolism in animals as well as in fungi and can be reverted to the parent compound in fungi. Aflatoxin R0 is highly mutagenic when tested in the Ames'' in vitro microbial detection system for carcinogens.
Chemical Properties
Different sources of media describe the Chemical Properties of 29611-03-8 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. solid
2. The aflatoxins are a group of molds produced by the fungus Aspergillus flavus. They are natural contaminants of fruits, vegetables, and grains. They are also described as a series of condensed ring heterocyclic compounds. They form colorless to pale yellow crystals. Practically insoluble in water.
Safety Profile
Suspected carcinogen with experimental carcinogenic data. Mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See also various aflatoxins
Potential Exposure
Aflatoxins are a group of toxic metabolites produced by certain types of fungi. Aflatoxins are not commercially manufactured; they are naturally occurring contaminants that are formed by fungi on food during conditions of high temperatures and high humidity. Most human exposure to aflatoxins occurs through ingestion of contaminated food. The estimated amount of aflatoxins that Americans consume daily is estimated to be 0.15 0.50 μg. Grains, peanuts, tree nuts, and cottonseed meal are among the more common foods on which these fungi grow. Meat, eggs, milk, and other edible products from animals that consume aflatoxincontaminated feed may also contain aflatoxins. Aflatoxins can also be breathed in
Shipping
UN3172 Toxins, extracted from living sources, solid or liquid, Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials, Technical Name Required. UN2811 Toxic solids, organic, n.o.s., Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials, Technical Name Required.
Incompatibilities
Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides.
Waste Disposal
Consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices. Generators of waste containing this contaminant (≥100 kg/mo) must conform with EPA regulations governing storage, transportation, treatment, and waste disposal. Use of oxidizing agents, such as hydrogen peroxide or 5% sodium hypochlorite bleach. Acids and bases may also be used.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 29611-03-8 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 2,9,6,1 and 1 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 0 and 3 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 29611-03:
(7*2)+(6*9)+(5*6)+(4*1)+(3*1)+(2*0)+(1*3)=108
108 % 10 = 8
So 29611-03-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
