The cytochrome P450-mediated oxidation of acrylonitrile (ACN) to the mutagen 2-cyanoethylene oxide (CEO) is thought to be important for the carcinogenic effects of ACN in rats, while glutathione (GSH) conjugation of ACN and CEO is regarded as detoxication.

The 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments list several volatile organic chemicals as hazardous air pollutants, including ethylene oxide, butadiene, styrene, and acrylonitrile.
The toxicology of many of these compounds shares several common elements such as carcinogenicity in laboratory animals, genotoxicity of the epoxide intermediates, involvement of cytochrome P450 for metabolic activation (except ethylene oxide), and involvement of at least two enzymes for detoxication of the epoxides (e.g., hydrolysis or conjugation with glutathione).
