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 />

Type of measurement : concentration at contaminated site<br />

Media : other: tobacco smoke<br />

Concentration :<br />

Method : GC/MS<br />

Result : o-Toluidine and several other amines occur in tobacco smoke<br />

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

Flag : Critical study for SIDS endpoint<br />

Type of measurement : concentration at contaminated site<br />

Media : other: tobacco smoke<br />

Concentration :<br />

Method :<br />

Result : o-Toluidine occurs in tobacco smoke. The ring-substituted aromatic amines<br />

of tobacco smoke are most likely formed during pyrolysis. The authors<br />

state that the concentrations of the most aromatic amines (e.g. o-toluidine)<br />

are ranging from 10-100 ug/kg tobacco dry weight.<br />

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

Data from peer-reviewed handbook or collection of data<br />

Type of measurement : concentration at contaminated site<br />

Media : other: tobacco smoke<br />

Concentration :<br />

Method :<br />

Result : o-Toluidine occurs in tobacco smoke. Formation may be due to pyrolysis.<br />

On the other hand, nonenzymatic browning reactions occur which lead to<br />

the formation of nitrogen heterocycles (e.g. pyrrazols) from sugars and<br />

amino acids. these products may be transferred into the smoke.<br />

Type of measurement : concentration at contaminated site<br />

Media : other: tobacco smoke<br />

Concentration :<br />

Method :<br />

Result : In cigarette smoke, the o-toluidine content is reported to be 32 ng/cigarette<br />

Reliability : (4) not assignable<br />

Type of measurement : concentration at contaminated site<br />

Media : other: tobacco smoke<br />

Concentration :<br />

Method : Calculation<br />

Result : The daily uptake of o-toluidine is about 3.6 µg/d by smokers (25<br />

cigarettes/d) in the USA<br />

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