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 />

80<br />

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 />

07.06.2004 (49)<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 />
