OECD SIDS o-<strong>TOLUIDINE</strong><br />
5. TOXICITY ID: <strong>95</strong>-<strong>53</strong>-4<br />
DATE: 07.01.2005<br />
Investigations at workes in a dystaff facility (USA). Urine samples were<br />
taken before and after a work shift for 12 probably exposed workers and 8<br />
presumably unexposed workers, and analyzed. Nine of the 12 personal<br />
time weighted average air measurement for the likley to have been<br />
exposed group had detectable levels of o-toluidune. None of the<br />
nonexposed group had detectable levels of o-tuluidine. Average urinary<br />
concentrations of o-toluidine were about eight times higher among exposed<br />
than probably unexposed workers.<br />

Type of experience : other: Hemoglobin adducts in humans<br />
Remark : Hemoglobin adducts of 15 aromatic amines were determined in<br />
nonsmokers and smokers living in Turin, Italy.<br />
Blood samples from 25 nonsmokers and 61 smokers were examined.<br />
There was an increase of o-toluidine-HB adducts in smokers 310 pg/g HB<br />
versus 188 pg/g in nonsmokers.<br />
Reliability : (2) valid with restrictions<br />
Method evaluation for routinely monitoring of HB adducts in humans, basic<br />
data available<br />

03.06.2004 (396) (397)<br />
Type of experience : Health records from industry<br />
Remark : The study examined 868 of the 906 workers employed in the dyestuff<br />
industry in Italy between 1922 and 1970. Mortality in the years 1946-1976<br />
was determined and compared with the totale male population.<br />
5 cases of death caused by bladder cancer were reported in a subgroup of<br />
<strong>53</strong> workers in the rosaline and safranine T production who were exposed to<br />
a mixture of toluene, o-nitrotoluene, o-toluidine and 4,4-methylene-bis-(2methylaniline)<br />
(3 death) or 4,4-methylene-bis-(2-methylaniline, onitrotoluene,<br />
aniline, rosaniline and safranine (2 death)<br />
Reliability : (4) not assignable<br />
exposure against a mixture of substances (aromatic amines), no<br />
concentrations given<br />

Type of experience : Health records from industry<br />
Remark : concentrations of 40 ppm (176 mg/m3) o-Toluidin in the atmosphere for<br />
more than 60 minutes caused severe toxic effects in persons, 10 ppm (44<br />
mg/m3) lead to symptoms of illness and concentration in the atmosphere<br />
greater than 5 ppm (22 mg/m3) indicate unsatisfactory conditions.<br />
Test substance : o-, m-, p-toluidine, isomer not specified<br />
Reliability : (2) valid with restrictions<br />
exposure against a mixture of toluidine isomeres<br />

Type of experience : Health records from industry<br />
Remark : 98 cases of bladder cancer were observed among industrial workers<br />
between 1903 and 1<strong>95</strong>5. Most of this persons had been exposed to 2naphthylamine,<br />
either alone or together with other aromatic amines; in<br />
addition, 11 cases were mentioned for which the exposure had involved<br />
