Abstract: Acrylamide is a potential carcinogen with neurotoxicity, reproductive toxicity, and genotoxicity. As an important chemical raw material, acrylamide is widely used in many industries, and its application amount is increasing, being received increasing concerns due to its hazards to the environment and human health. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the ecological behavior and ecotoxicological effect of acrylamide. This paper summarized the environmental exposure routes of acrylamide, its translocation, degradation, and transformation behaviors in the environment, its biotransformation and metabolic mechanisms, and its ecotoxicological effect. In light of the existed problems, the future research trends of acrylamide were also prospected, aimed to provide references to the toxicity assessment and the pollution prevention and treatment of acrylamide in the environment.
