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

3. ENVIRONMENTAL FATE AND PATHWAYS ID: <strong>95</strong>-<strong>53</strong>-4<br />

DATE: 07.01.2005<br />

- GC/MS<br />

Result : Toluidine (isomers not specified, but o-toluidine likely to be present) was<br />

detected as a component of coal oil at a concentration of 135 mg/kg.<br />

Toluidine was not present in the 3 gasifier tars investigated.<br />

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

Flag : Critical study for SIDS endpoint<br />

07.06.2004 (47)<br />

Type of measurement : other: concentration in fuel<br />

Media : other: gasolines and aqueous extracts of gasolines<br />

Concentration :<br />

Method : HPLC/UV and HPLC/MS<br />

Result : o-Toludine is present in 77 % of [in total] 62 Swiss and 3 US gasoline<br />

samples (average 6.1 mg/l) and in their aqueous extracts (average 0.47<br />

mg/l)<br />

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

Type of measurement : background concentration<br />

Media : surface water<br />

Concentration :<br />

Method : GC quantification, MS identification<br />

Result : o-Toluidine was found in 3 of of 9 samples. The highest value occurred in<br />

the river Alster (ca. 1 µg/l).<br />

Test condition : - 9 samples of environmental waters in Northern Germany<br />

- Fresh samples were anaylsed<br />

- GC quantification after derivatisation with trifluoroacetic acid anhydride<br />

- MS identification<br />

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

Type of measurement : background concentration<br />

Media : surface water<br />

Concentration :<br />

Method : GC, photometry<br />

Method : - GC according to 1980 publication of the authors<br />

- Colorimetric determination of total amines content as azo compounds by<br />

coupling with N-(1-naphthyl)-ethylenediamine. Absorbance was read at 555<br />

nm. Practical limit of detectability 0.02-0.5 µg/l<br />

- Sampling in 1979, water including sediments<br />

Remark : In the Netherlands o-toluidin was measured in the river Rhine and in two of<br />

it's tributaries in 1979; GC-analysis, detection limit: 0.02 ug/l<br />

Result : o-Toluidine concentrations in the river Rhine and it´s tributaries:<br />
