  • Can acrylamide contaminate drinking water?
  • Available monitoring data are insufficient to confirm this. The most important source of drinking-water contamination by acrylamide is the use of polyacrylamide flocculants containing residual levels of acrylamide monomer. Generally, the maximum authorized dose of polymer is 1 mg/l.
  • Should acrylamide monomer be allowed in drinking water?
  • Every effort should be made to limit free acrylamide monomer in polyacrylamide used for water treatment, and water suppliers should also make every effort to ensure that residual acrylamide in drinking-water is kept as low as is technically feasible.
  • What is a polyacrylamide soluble polymer?
  • Polyacrylamide: This is a water-soluble polymer formed from acrylamide (a compound with a molecular formula C 3 H 5 NO) subunits. PAMs is most often used to increase the viscosity of water (creating a thicker solution) or to encourage the flocculation of particles present in water.
  • Are acrylamide flocculants safe for drinking water?
  • Considering drinking water, both flocculants dose and free acrylamide monomer levels in polyacrylamide flocculants should be limited and kept under control when using for water treatment purposes. The global ecological risk posed by acrylamide is still uncertain since longer-term studies are deficient.
