Is the IUPAC name for Acrolein: Acrylaldehyde or 2-propenal? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.216.22.226 (talk) 11:14, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

List of NFPA 704 ratings shows acrolein as having a code of 4-3-3, but this page shows a triangle of 3-2-2. Which is correct? --Ben Applegate 07:57, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Definately 4-3-3 it is extremely toxic and if ppm of 2 can kill that is extremely toxic. --Susan Walton 03:38, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cooking oil

The article stated that acrolein in certain cooking oils had been linked to lung cancer. The reference cited in support of this statement spoke only to cigarette smoke, not cooking oil. Until someone comes up with a supporting reference, the statement regarding cooking oil has been removed. --Barefootmatt (talk) 17:40, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
