Type of measurement : concentration at contaminated site<br />
Media : ground water<br />
Concentration :<br />
Method : GC/MS<br />
Method : - Samples taken 15 months after underground coal gasification was<br />
terminated<br />
- Ground water samples extracted with CH2Cl2 and fractionated into acidic,<br />
basic, and neutral fractions<br />
- Direct injection of fractions concentrate into GC<br />
- GC (Hewlett-Packard 5880, SP2100-fused silica column, flame ionization<br />
detector)<br />
- Identification of peaks by GC/MS (Hewlett-Packard 5985)<br />
Result : 3 ground water samples from the vicinity of an US underground coal<br />
gasification site, contained toluidine in concentrations of up to 9.2 µg/l (sum<br />
of o- and p-isomers: 0.06, 1.4, 9.2 µg/l)<br />
Reliability : (2) valid with restrictions<br />
Basic data given<br />
Flag : Critical study for SIDS endpoint<br />

Type of measurement : other: background, contaminated sites<br />
Media : other: effluents from refineries and production facilities, river water, process<br />
water, and ground water<br />
Concentration :<br />
Method :<br />
Result : o-Toluidine was detected in the effluents from refineries and production<br />
facilities, in river water, process water, and ground water (cited according<br />
to NTP 2003, no further data supplied)<br />
Reliability : (4) not assignable<br />

Type of measurement : other: background, contaminated site<br />
Media : other: surface water and open sewer<br />
Concentration :<br />
Method :<br />
Method : In 1991, o-toluidine was monitored in several rivers in North Rhine-<br />
Westfalia in Germany<br />
Remark : The Emscher serves as an open sewer for an urban and industrial area<br />
with several millions of inhabitants<br />
Result : o-Toluidine was only detected in the Emscher (highest value: 1.8 µg/l,<br />
detection limit in most rivers 1 µg/l, detection limit in the Wupper 0.1 µg/l)<br />
Reliability : (2) valid with restrictions<br />

Type of measurement : concentration at contaminated site<br />
Media : surface water<br />
Concentration :<br />
Method : Solid Phase Extraction, followed by HPLC with Diode Array Detection<br />
Result : From March 1994 to August 19<strong>95</strong>, o-toluidine was occasionally found in the<br />
rivers Bilina (downstream of a chemical factory in Usti nad Labem =<br />
Aussig, Czech Republic) and in the Elbe (no exact values reported). The<br />
relative concentrations of the sum of several aromatic amines examined<br />
