What is the risk of exposure to Benzyl methyl ketone(BMK) on human beings and who are subject to such kind of exposure?

Workers who are involved in manufacturing this chemical are exposed to its vapors which they breathe in. Also, they may have direct contact on the skin. Other people constituting the general population can get exposed to this chemical by smoking cigarettes , susbtitutes of tobacco as well as consumption of certain foods.

People who are involved in the production of illegal drugs will also be exposed to this chemical. On being released into the air, the Benzyl methyl ketone gets broken down. Not only this, but it can also be broken down by the sunlight. It gradually moves into the air from the moist soil and water. But there is no probability of building up in fish.

Till date, there is no proof of the toxicity of Benzyl methyl ketone in the case of human beings. As per the National Toxicology Program 14th Report on Carcinogens (SRC), in case of laboratory animals also, the data on the chemical’s potential to cause cancer in case of human beings has not yet been proved by the US. EPA IRIS program. It is an  International Agency for Research on Cancer or the U.S.

How is Benzyl methyl ketone(BMK) produced?

There are various methods for the preparation of Phenylacetone Oil, BMK (Benzyl Methyl Ketone) Oil, P2P  but the simplest method of its preparation is the alkalination of Benzene Friedel-Crafts with chloroacetone.

It is also produced by the process of catalytic ketonisation of phenylacetic acid with acetic acid. This is done over an alumina-supported cerium oxide catalyst at a temperature of 400-500°C.

Another method of its production includes rearrangement of phenylpropylene oxide on zeolites or by the process of oxidation of 2-phenylpropanol.
