OECD SIDS o-<strong>TOLUIDINE</strong><br />

5. TOXICITY ID: <strong>95</strong>-<strong>53</strong>-4<br />

DATE: 07.01.2005<br />

272<br />

Type of experience : other: Biological monitoring (blood)<br />

Method : Hemoglobin adducts of aromatic amines in children from three differentsized<br />

Bavarian towns were examined<br />

Remark : Exposure to (environmental) tobacco smoke not conclusively determined<br />

Result : No influence of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (determined by<br />

interview) on o-toluidine hemoglobin adduct levels was found, but the<br />

highest adduct levels were observed in the largest town.<br />

Reliability : (4) not assignable<br />

Documentation insufficient for assessment<br />

Flag : Critical study for SIDS endpoint<br />

03.06.2004 (416)<br />

Type of experience : other: Biological monitoring (blood)<br />

Result : Significant differences were found between smokers (n = 12) and nonsmokers<br />

(n = 10). The o-toluidine hemoglobine adduct level was tripled in<br />

smokers (0.10 ng/g hemoglobin), compared to non-smokers (0.034 ng/g<br />

hemoglobin).<br />

Reliability : (2) valid with restrictions<br />

Type of experience : other: Biological monitoring (blood)<br />

Result : The hemoglobin adduct background level of toluidine (no isomer specified)<br />

is 1-10 µg/l for the general population due to tobacco smoke.<br />

Reliability : (2) valid with restrictions<br />

Data from handbook or collection of data<br />

5.11 ADDITIONAL REMARKS<br />

Type : other: CICAD, 1998, is available and used as review.<br />

Type : other<br />

Remark : Biological monitoring toa assess human exposure to o-toluidine indicates<br />

tgat absorption may occur through inhalation and dermal contact; however,<br />

quantitative information was not identified. o-toluidiene bindes to<br />

hemoglobin. N-acetylated metabolites of o-toluidine are eliminated in the<br />

urine.<br />

Reliability : (2) valid with restrictions<br />

Type : other: Hematotoxicity<br />

Remark : Nine adult cats (older then 24 weeks) were administered with 0.25 mmol/kg<br />

bw (approx. 27 mg/kg) o-toluidine for a single i.v. injection.<br />

Methemoglobin determinatations 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 hours after injection: 57.4,<br />

63.9, 64.5, 63.3, 57.1 % methemoglobin respectively. Mean 61.3 and mean<br />

max. 70.1% methemoglobin.<br />

Methemoglobin in untreated rats: mean1.1% (max.3%)<br />
