Quinoline is used mainly as an intermediate in the manufacture of other products. Potential exposure to quinoline may occur from the inhalation of cigarette smoke. Quinoline breaks down quickly in the atmosphere and water. Acute (short-term) inhalation exposure to quinoline vapors irritates the eyes, nose, and throat and may cause headaches, dizziness, and nausea in humans. Information on the chronic (long- term), reproductive, developmental, or carcinogenic effects of quinoline in humans is not available. Liver damage has been observed in rats chronically exposed to quinoline by ingestion. An increased incidence of liver vascular tumors has been observed in rats and mice orally exposed to quinoline. EPA has provisionally classified quinoline as a Group C, possible human carcinogen

A skin and eye irritant; May have effects on the liver and retina; Possibly carcinogenic in humans; [ICSC] Causes lethargy, respiratory depression, and coma in high-dose animal experiments; No rats died when exposed to saturated vapor (about 78 ppm) for 8 hours, but all rats died within 6 hours after exposure to 4000 ppm; [HSDB] An irritant; May cause serious injury to eyes; Can be absorbed through skin; [MSDSonline]

QUINOLINE is hygroscopic. It absorbs as much as 22% water. It is sensitive to light and moisture. It darkens on storage. This chemical is a weak base. A potentially explosive reaction may occur with hydrogen peroxide. It reacts violently with dinitrogen tetraoxide. It also reacts violently with perchromates. It is incompatible with (linseed oil + thionyl chloride) and maleic anhydride. It is also incompatible with strong oxidizers and strong acids. This chemical can be unpredictably violent. It dissolves sulfur, phosphorus and arsenic trioxide. It may attack some forms of plastics. It is a preparative hazard. (NTP, 1992)

Listed as a hazardous air pollutant (HAP) generally known or suspected to cause serious health problems. The Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990, directs EPA to set standards requiring major sources to sharply reduce routine emissions of toxic pollutants. EPA is required to establish and phase in specific performance based standards for all air emission sources that emit one or more of the listed pollutants. Quinoline is included on this list.

Excerpt from ERG Guide 154 [Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Non-Combustible)]:；SMALL FIRE: Dry chemical, CO2 or water spray.；LARGE FIRE: Dry chemical, CO2, alcohol-resistant foam or water spray. If it can be done safely, move undamaged containers away from the area around the fire. Dike runoff from fire control for later disposal.；FIRE INVOLVING TANKS, RAIL TANK CARS OR HIGHWAY TANKS: Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned master stream devices or monitor nozzles. Do not get water inside containers. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. ALWAYS stay away from tanks in direct contact with flames. (ERG, 2024)

Use water spray, foam, powder, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), Kocs ranging from 2.84 to 10.9(2,3), indicates that quinoline is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of the neutral species of quinoline from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.67X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), based upon its vapor pressure, 0.06 mm Hg(4), and water solubility, 6,110 mg/l(5). The potential for volatilization of quinoline from dry soil surfaces may exist(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure(4). However, the pKa of quinoline is 4.90(6), indicating that this compound will partially exist in the protonated form in the environment and cations generally adsorb to organic carbon and clay more strongly than their neutral counterparts(7). Quinoline was degraded in a Danish sandy soil from Lundgaard, Jutland, characterized by 2.47% organic carbon content, 80.2% sand, 13.2% silt, 4.8% clay, and a pH of 5.8; using batch experiments at pH 5.8 and 7 with concns of 10 and 50 mg/kg quinoline, 14CO2 production was 21%/day after 3-4 days in all experiments(8); observed biodegradation to hydroxylated products was reported using freshwater sediment slurries incubated under methanogenic conditions(9). Therefore, biodegradation may be a slow environmental fate process in soil(SRC).

AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), Koc values ranging from 2.84 to 10.9(2,3), indicates that quinoline is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). However, the pKa of quinoline is 4.90(7), indicating that this compound will partially exist in the protonated form in the environment and cations generally adsorb to organic carbon and clay more strongly than their neutral counterparts(8). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(4) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.7X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 0.06 mm Hg(5), and water solubility, 6,110 mg/l(6). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(4), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 25 and 186 days, respectively(SRC). Quinoline may be susceptible to photolysis as indicated by strong UV absorption in water at wavelengths >290 nm with maximum at 312.5 nm(9). According to a classification scheme(10), a BCF range of <0.1 to 3.8(11), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Biodegradation may be a slow environmental fate process in water based upon a measured 0.2% theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using the Japanese MITI test(11) and observed biodegradation to hydroxylated products using freshwater sediment slurries incubated under methanogenic conditions(12).

ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), quinoline, which has a vapor pressure of 0.006 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase quinoline is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 1.4 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 1.16X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(3). Strong absorption of UV light wavelenghts >290 nm with an absorption maximum at 312.5 nm in water(4), suggests the potential for direct photolysis of quinoline in the atmosphere(SRC). This compound may be removed from the atmosphere by wet and dry deposition as indicated by the identification of quinoline sorbed to atmospheric particulates(5) and in rainwater samples(6).

Neurotoxin - Other CNS neurotoxin；Occupational hepatotoxin - Secondary hepatotoxins: the potential for toxic effect in the occupational setting is based on cases of poisoning by human ingestion or animal experimentation.；IARC Carcinogen - Class 3: Chemicals are not classifiable by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the skin and by ingestion.

The ability of PAH's to bind to blood proteins such as albumin allows them to be transported throughout the body. Many PAH's induce the expression of cytochrome P450 enzymes, especially CYP1A1, CYP1A2, and CYP1B1, by binding to the aryl hydrocarbon receptor or glycine N-methyltransferase protein. These enzymes metabolize PAH's into their toxic intermediates. The reactive metabolites of PAHs (epoxide intermediates, dihydrodiols, phenols, quinones, and their various combinations) covalently bind to DNA and other cellular macromolecules, initiating mutagenesis and carcinogenesis.

With 260 mg quinoline per kg creosote-pentachlorophenol, quinoline was detected in wastewater from an on-site storage pond in central Texas(1). The compound was qualitatively identified in CO and UT shale oil wastewaters during 1981-2(2). A quinoline concn of 20 ng/l was estimated to be present in synthetic coal conversion wastewater(3). A baseline study of gaseous emissions from polystyrene combustion indicate that quinoline represents 2.08% of the total gas-phase PAH emissions(4). Quinoline was tentatively identified in the base fraction of wastewater from gasification of Indian Head lignite coal at an estimated concentration of 0.49 mg/l(5). Gasoline and diesel-powered vehicle exhaust emissions have been shown to contain quinoline at concns ranging from 5.3 (noncatalyst) and 0.57 ug/km (catalyst), and 0.46 (diesel) ug/km, respectively(6).

... The metabolites of quinoline and isoquinoline, as formed in vitro with rat liver homogenate, were identified to investigate possible molecular bases for the differences in their biological activity. The ethyl acetate extractable metabolites of quinoline and isoquinoline were analyzed directly by high pressure liquid chromatography after silylation, and by capillary gas chromatography. The major metabolite of quinoline was 5,6-dihydroxy-5,6-dihydroquinoline. Lesser amounts of 2- and 3-hydroxyquinoline and quinoline-N-oxide were also identified as metabolites. 1-, 4- and 5-hydroxyisoquinoline and isoquinoline-N-oxide were detected as metabolites of isoquinoline. 5,6-Dihydroxy-5,6-dihydroisoquinoline was detected as only a minor metabolite. This difference in the extent to which these isomers are ultimately metabolized to dihydrodiols may be associated with their differences in biological activity.

Quinoline has known human metabolites that include Quinoline 1-oxide, Q-8,6-epoxide, and 3OHQ.

Salmo gairdneri (rainbow trout) readily absorb & metabolize (14)C quinoline when exposed to 1 mg/l concn in water. Juvenile fish accumulated over 60% of the total radiolabel body burden in the gall bladder as quinoline metabolites after 48 hr exposure, followed by 24 hr in clean water. Hydrolysis products of the metabolites, isolated by alkaline digestion & base-catalysed acetylation, were found to be hydroxyquinolines & quinolinethiols. There is evidence that the hydroxy form was present in the gall bladders as the glucuronide was obtained from thin layer chromatographic experiments, & by cleavage with beta-glucuronidase. The thiols, identified by high & low resolution mass spectrometry, predominated over the hydroxy derivative in most tissues examined. Relative body burdens of quinoline plus metabolites after 48 hr were in the order of: gall bladder >muscle >gut >eyes >liver.

Quinoline is absorbed percutaneously.

Rainbow trout were fed pelleted food containing (14)C-quinoline to assess the relationship of digestive processes to pharmacokinetics. The pH of material in the stomach of rainbow trout ranged from 2.7 to 5.2. ... At 2 hr after feeding, 67% of the quinoline was estimated to be non-ionized & available for absorption across gastric epithelium. Quinoline was >99% non-ionized in the alkaline environment of the intestine; however, relative concns in the intestine were about 8% of those measured in the stomach. Gastric absorption was consistent with known serum profiles & excretion patterns of dietary quinoline. Rates of gallbladder emptying appeared to exceed rates of hepatic bile secretion until about 8 hr after a single feeding. Time since feeding influenced both the amount & concn of quinoline-derived radioactivity in the bile. ...

The primary routes of exposure to quinoline are through skin contact with the liquid & inhalation of the vapor or aerosol.

Elimination half-lives of quinoline & its metabolites showed considerable variability among tissues, with a range of 0.3 days for gallbladder to 8.7 days for muscle. Biliary/fecal excretion was significant & glucuronide conjugates made up 14% of the radioactivity in the bile /in trout/.

Quinoline is used mainly as an intermediate in the manufacture of other products.

Commercial quinoline is at least 90% pure. Chromatographic composition of this product is typically 92% quinoline and 5% isoquinoline by weight.

Cosmetics product ingredient: Quinoline and its strong acid salts；Source: Quinoline is component of coal tar. Coal tar is added to cosmetics to prevent the growth of microorganisms on the skin. It is also added to make cosmetics taste bad and to discourage people from eating them. Coal tar is an active ingredient in some over-the-counter dandruff treatments.；Potential health impacts: People are mainly exposed to quinoline through the skin. Studies of laboratory animals that were fed quinolone or exposed to quinolone by skin application have shown that it can cause liver and skin cancer. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) considers quinoline likely to cause cancer in humans.；Product count: 9
