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 />

Flag : Critical study for SIDS endpoint<br />

07.06.2004 (66)<br />

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

Media : biota<br />

Concentration :<br />

Method : PTR-MS<br />

Method : - VOC of human breath was anaylsed by proton-transfer reaction-mass<br />

spectrometry (PTR-MS) with a detection limit of a few pptv<br />

- 16 cancer patients<br />

- 100 volunteers as control<br />

- Parallel check of room air<br />

Result : Rieder et al. (2001) observed that patients with different tumors exhaled 5<br />

times more of a compound which they tentatively identified as o-toluidine<br />

(1.5 +/- 0.8 ppbv) than the age-matched controls (0.24 +/- 0.1 ppbv).<br />

Reliability : (3) invalid<br />

Documentation insufficient for assessment<br />

3.3.2 DISTRIBUTION<br />

Media : air - biota - sediment(s) - soil - water<br />

Method : Calculation according Mackay, Level I<br />

Year : 2003<br />

Method : Chemical data used in the calculation:<br />

- Temperature (°C) = 25<br />

- Molar mass (g/mol) = 107.16<br />

- Vapour pressure (Pa) = 34.5<br />

- Water solubility (g/l) = 15.0009<br />

- log Kow = 1.40<br />

- Melting point: -24.4/-16.3 °C(*)<br />

Result :<br />

Calculation was performed according to the model described in the first<br />

publication of Mackay (1991). Phase properties and composition of the<br />

compartments were modified as suggested by the Federal Environmental<br />

Agency (UBA, Germany).<br />

(*)Both melting point values lead to the same result.<br />

Based on the model calculations (Mackay level I, v 2.11) the target<br />

compartment of the environmental distribution of o-toluidine is the<br />
