[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 8193926, member: 105098"]this is correct. Acetone is manufactured from the basic raw materials of benzene and propylene. These materials are used to produce cumene, which is then oxidised to become cumene hydroperoxide, before being split into phenol and its co-product, acetone. It is also produced in factory labs by manually combining three carbon atoms, six hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom to produce the compound element (CH3)2CO (acetone). there is plenty of natural cycle on the planet to break apart acetone back into 3 carbon, 6 hydrogen and 1 oxygen atoms again, excepting of course massive factory spills that would take time to break it down, but would break down. Chemical solutions can be broken down into their base components or atoms just as they are combined, or combined again to be rendered harmless. in the case of acetone, it is broken down by sunlight and in a matter of days, consumed by bacteria in soil and water wherever it is. even in small quantities and accidentally consumed or absorbed, the human liver will break down and dispose of acetone. it's what it's there for among other things that need breaking down and expulsion. Most acetone in the environment is in vapor form and naturally occurring, in fact due to the vapor in the air, it is detectably present in blood and urine samples all over the world and the liver is what breaks it down and removes it from our bodies.[/QUOTE]
