neutral  Gillian Scheibelein: its a typo/scanning error I'm afraid
9 mins
  -> Difficult to imagine the same typo in four different documents

agree  Dr Janine Manuel BSc BHB MBChB: could be aerolein since it is on the list with aldehyde
46 mins
  -> Glad someone (might) agree :-)

disagree  Lars Finsen: Acrylaldehyde is another name for acrolein, systematic name propenal, C2H3CHO. Nothing is called aerolein, it's a misprint.
