- Reactivity Profile: A nontoxic, combustible liquid, reacts with oxidizing reagents. BENZALDEHYDE must be blanketed with an inert gas at all times since it is oxidized readily by air to benzoic acid [Kirk-Othmer, 3rd ed., Vol. 3, 1978, p. 736]. In contact with strong acids or bases it will undergo an exothermic condensation reaction [Sax, 9th ed., 1996, p. 327]. A violent reaction was observed on contact with peroxyacids (peroxyformic acid) [D'Ans, J. et al., Ber., 1915, 48, p. 1136].

- Probable Routes of Human Exposure: NIOSH (NOES Survey 1981-1983) has statistically estimated that 67,721 workers (27,021 of these are female) are potentially exposed to benzaldehyde in the US(1). Occupational exposure to benzaldehyde may occur through inhalation and dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where benzaldehyde is produced or used(SRC). Monitoring data indicate that the general population may be exposed to benzaldehyde via inhalation of ambient air, ingestion of food and drinking water, and dermal contact with consumer products containing benzaldehyde(SRC). Benzaldehyde was one of the 20 most common chemicals found in 31 fragrance products(2). Benzaldehyde's use as a flavoring agent and its natural occurrence in many foods will expose the general population through oral consumption(3,4).

- Environmental Fate/Exposure Summary: Benzaldehyde's production and use as a food additive, as a fragrance in cosmetics, perfumes, and detergents, as a chemical intermediate and as a solvent may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams. Benzaldehyde is also released to the environment in emissions from combustion processes such as gasoline and diesel engines, incinerators and wood burning. It is formed in the atmosphere through photochemical oxidation of toluene and other aromatic hydrocarbons. It occurs naturally in many plant species and has been identified in volcanic emissions. If released to air, a vapor pressure of 1.27 mm Hg at 25 °C indicates benzaldehyde will exist solely as a vapor in the atmosphere. Vapor-phase benzaldehyde will be degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photoche...
