How does Cyclanilide affect workers’ health?
Mar
Cyclanilide (C₁₁H₉Cl₂NO₃) is a chemical used in many manufacturing plants, but its effects on worker health are not widely known. This article will analyze the impact of Cyclanilide and provide effective protective measures for workers.
1. What is Cyclanilide?
Cyclanilide, with the chemical formula C₁₁H₉Cl₂NO₃, is an organic compound belonging to the anilide group, used primarily in the chemical manufacturing industry. The structure of Cyclanilide includes a benzene ring (C₆H₅), an aniline group (C₆H₄NH₂), along with two chlorine atoms (Cl) and a nitro group (NO₃). This chemical is typically white or pale yellow, is sparingly soluble in water, but dissolves well in organic solvents like ethanol and acetone.

1. What is Cyclanilide?
Cyclanilide, with the chemical formula C₁₁H₉Cl₂NO₃, is an organic compound belonging to the anilide group, used primarily in the chemical manufacturing industry. The structure of Cyclanilide includes a benzene ring (C₆H₅), an aniline group (C₆H₄NH₂), along with two chlorine atoms (Cl) and a nitro group (NO₃). This chemical is typically white or pale yellow, is sparingly soluble in water, but dissolves well in organic solvents like ethanol and acetone.
Cyclanilide is mainly used in agrochemical products, pesticides, and in some other industrial processes. Thanks to its special chemical structure, Cyclanilide has a strong biological effect, especially on insects, but it also poses many risks to human health if not used and managed properly.
With the chemical formula C₁₁H₉Cl₂NO₃, Cyclanilide exhibits fairly stable chemical properties, but it is also easily decomposed in the environment if not handled correctly. This contributes to growing concerns about the long-term effects of this chemical on human health and the surrounding environment, especially for workers who are in direct contact with it during production.

2. Where does Cyclanilide originate from during the production process?
This chemical often arises during the production of agrochemical products or pesticides, when processing and mixing stages are not tightly controlled. In a factory environment, cyclanilide can be created during the synthesis or processing of other chemical components to make the final product. During this process, chemicals containing anilide, chlorine, and nitro groups can react under certain temperature and pressure conditions, leading to the formation of cyclanilide.
Additionally, cyclanilide can also be generated from equipment cleaning or maintenance procedures, when excess chemical residues remaining after production are not handled properly. Furthermore, the handling and disposal of waste from the production process can be a major source of cyclanilide if environmental protection and occupational safety measures are not strictly implemented.
3. Industries that use Cyclanilide in production
This chemical is primarily used in the agrochemical manufacturing industry, especially in the creation of various pesticides and insecticides. Pesticide manufacturing plants use cyclanilide to synthesize compounds capable of eliminating pests, protecting crops for farmers. In addition, cyclanilide is also used in industries that produce chemicals for crop and livestock protection.
Besides that, cyclanilide may also appear in the synthetic chemical industry, where organic compounds are created for various purposes. Industrial chemical processing and manufacturing plants may use cyclanilide as part of their production process, from solvents to final products for the plastics, textile, or construction materials industries.
With its property of being easily soluble in organic solvents, cyclanilide can also be used in some other industries such as the production of cosmetics or healthcare products. However, the frequency and level of use of cyclanilide in these industries are generally lower than in the agrochemical and chemical industries.
4. How does Cyclanilide affect workers?
When exposed to cyclanilide, workers in manufacturing plants can face serious health effects. This chemical can enter the body through the respiratory tract, digestion, or skin if proper protective measures are not in place. Inhaling cyclanilide vapor or dust can cause respiratory problems, including pneumonia or chronic respiratory diseases, especially with long-term exposure in a poorly ventilated work environment.
In addition, cyclanilide can also cause allergic reactions or skin irritation, especially with direct skin contact over a long period without protection. Workers may experience symptoms such as redness, itching, or a burning sensation in the contact area. If exposed to this chemical for a long time, workers are also at risk of developing liver, kidney diseases, or issues related to organ function.
Studies also indicate that cyclanilide can affect the central nervous system, causing symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, fatigue, or loss of concentration. These effects are particularly dangerous when workers are in an environment with inadequate protection and do not comply with safety measures.
5. Permissible safe concentration of Cyclanilide for human exposure
The safe concentration of cyclanilide for human exposure is very strictly regulated in countries around the world, including Vietnam. These standards are usually based on scientific research on the toxicity of this chemical to human health. In Vietnam, authorities such as the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment issue regulations on the maximum permissible levels of cyclanilide in the air, water, soil, and food to protect public and worker health.
Specifically, the safe concentration level of cyclanilide for human exposure depends on the type of contact, such as through inhalation, direct skin contact, or ingestion. These regulations will typically provide maximum limit values for cyclanilide in the work environment, helping to minimize the risk of poisoning or diseases related to this chemical. Developed countries like the US and European nations have very detailed and strict standards for this level, where agencies such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regularly update and adjust cyclanilide concentration standards based on the latest research.
At a basic level, if working in an industrial environment, it is important to adhere to safety standards and limit exposure to Cyclanilide. Organizations like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the United States provide guidelines and safety principles to protect workers from the negative effects of chemical substances.
6. Measures to mitigate the health effects of Cyclanilide on workers
To minimize the health effects of cyclanilide on workers, protective and preventive measures must be strictly implemented in the workplace. One of the most important measures is to improve the ventilation system in manufacturing plants. Ensuring that the air in the factory is always well-circulated will help reduce the concentration of cyclanilide in the air, limiting workers’ exposure to this chemical through inhalation. In addition, the use of air filtration devices and industrial ventilation systems is necessary to minimize cyclanilide dust and vapor in the workspace.
Besides that, workers must be fully equipped with personal protective equipment such as masks, gloves, protective clothing, and safety glasses to prevent direct contact with cyclanilide. The use of this personal protective equipment will help minimize the chemical’s entry into the body through the skin or eyes, while also protecting the respiratory tract from inhaling dust particles or chemical vapors.
Other measures include training and raising awareness for workers about the dangers of cyclanilide and safety measures when working. Workers need to be periodically trained on how to use protective equipment, how to handle incidents or accidents involving the chemical, as well as basic first aid procedures in case of poisoning.
In addition, factories also need to conduct regular health checks and monitoring for workers. Regular health check-ups help to detect early signs of poisoning or illness due to cyclanilide exposure, allowing for timely intervention. Production facilities must also strictly comply with regulations on waste management and disposal of excess chemicals to avoid environmental pollution and protect public health.
Occupational safety training: Workers need to be trained and educated on the risks and safety measures when working with this type of chemical. This training should be provided periodically and regularly to ensure understanding and proper compliance with safety rules.
Periodically organize workplace environment monitoring in factories and enterprises, collecting and analyzing factors harmful to workers, thereby adjusting to reduce hazard levels to prevent occupational diseases for them.
