Dans l'environnement terrestre, l'acroléine subit la biodégradation, l'hydrolyse, la volatilisation et la sorption irréversible (Irwin, 1988; Howard, 1989; Chou et Spanggord, 1990b). Ces processus devraient entraÓner une baisse sensible du taux élevé d'infiltration de l'acroléine prévu en raison de sa faible valeur expérimentale de Kce (Irwin, 1988).

In 1985, acrolein was detected (detection limit 5 µg/L) in liquid effluents from two organic chemical manufacturing plants that discharged into the St. Clair River at Sarnia, Ontario, at estimated loadings of 3.9 and 0.45 kg/day (King and Sherbin, 1986). However, in an industrial survey conducted under CEPA Section 16, companies in this sector indicated in their responses that they were not involved in the production, import, use, release or monitoring of acrolein during the 1995-96 survey period (Environment Canada, 1997b).
