4-Chloro-2-toluidine is known to cause methemoglobinemia in humans. Two of three cohort studies showed high relative risks for workers exposed to this chemical in dye and chlordimeform production. [IARC] Induces genetic damage in germ cells of humans or animals (3A); [MAK]

National Toxicology Program. Eleventh Report on Carcinogens (2005). The Report on Carcinogens is an informational scientific and public health document that identifies and discusses substances (including agents, mixtures, or exposure circumstances) that may pose a carcinogenic hazard to human health. p-Chloro-o-toluidine (95-69-2) and p-Chloro-o-toluidine Hydrochloride are listed as reasonably anticipated to be human carcinogens. /p-Chloro-o-toluidine and p-Chloro-o-toluidine Hydrochloride/[Available from, as of July 31, 2009: http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/ntp/roc/eleventh/profiles/s043pcot.pdf]

4-CHLORO-O-TOLUIDINE is incompatible with acids, acid chlorides, acid anhydrides, chloroformates and strong oxidizing agents. (NTP, 1992). A halide- and amine-substituted aromatic compound. Amines are chemical bases. They neutralize acids to form salts plus water. These acid-base reactions are exothermic. The amount of heat that is evolved per mole of amine in a neutralization is largely independent of the strength of the amine as a base. Amines may be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is generated by amines in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.

Fire Extinguishing Agents: Water, dry chemical (USCG, 1999)

Use water spray, dry powder, carbon dioxide.

Fresh air, rest. Refer immediately for medical attention.

Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. Refer immediately for medical attention.

Rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible). Refer for medical attention.

Rinse mouth. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Refer immediately for medical attention.

EYES: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.

4-Chloro-o-toluidine was detected in the urine of workers in Australia exposed to N'-(4-chloro-o-tolyl)-N,N-dimethylformamidine, as a metabolic breakdown product of the acaricide; reverse-phase HPLC with UV detection has a detection limit of 0.4 to 10 ug/ml of 4-chloro-o-toluidine(1).

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Photolysis of 4-chloro-o-toluidine on soil surfaces may occur; 4-chloro-o-toluidine spotted onto silica gel plates and exposed to sunlight resulted in 10 photolytic degradation products(1). An estimated Koc value of 410(2,SRC) indicates that 4-chloro-o-toluidine should have moderate mobility in soil(SRC), based upon a recommended classification scheme(3). In an experimental soil system, however, it was shown that a considerable portion, about 50%, of this compound bound very strongly to the soil medium and that this was possibly due to interactions between the aromatic amine and humic/organic materials in the soil(4,5); soils with very little organic matter may not bind 4-chloro-o-toluidine strongly(5,SRC). Biodegradation of 4-chloro-o-toluidine may occur and may be a major fate process of this compound in soil; 20% mineralization of 4-chloro-o-toluidine in soil was reported over a 6 week time period(6). A polymerizing transformation of 4-chloro-o-toluidine to the corresponding azobenzene was shown in the presence of pure enzymes derived from a soil fungus(7).

AQUATIC FATE: As 4-chloro-o-toluidine has an absorption maximum at a wavelength of 296 nm(1), it will absorb radiation from natural sunlight and may degrade photolytically(SRC). 4-Chloro-o-toluidine in ethanol solution exposed to short wavelength UV light gave a mixture of photolytic degradation products(2). Volatilization of 4-chloro-o-toluidine from water surfaces will be slow based on an estimated Henry's Law constant of 2X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(3,SRC). Sorption of this compound to organic material in the water column may be a significant fate process; soil with added 4-chloro-o-toluidine retained about 50% of this compound as a strongly bound residue following Soxhlet extraction(4,5). Interaction of the aromatic amine with organic matter in the soil was believed to be responsible for this binding(4,5). Biodegradation of this compound in water may be possible; from an industrial wastewater 7% removal of TOC was seen but with GC analysis, structural changes to this compound were also detected resulting in higher levels of measured biodegradation of the parent compound(6). Bioconcentration of 4-chloro-o-toluidine in aquatic organisms is not an important fate process(7).

ATMOSPHERIC FATE: Based on an estimated vapor pressure of 0.04 mm Hg at 25 °C(1,SRC), 4-chloro-o-toluidine will exist primarily in the vapor phase in the ambient atmosphere(2,SRC). 4-Chloro-o-toluidine will degrade by reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals with an estimated half-life of about 9 hours(3,SRC). Direct photolysis of 4-chloro-o-toluidine in the atmosphere may be possible(SRC) as indicated by experiments where 4-chloro-o-toluidine spotted onto silica gel plates and exposed to sunlight resulted in about 10 photolytic degradation products(4).

para-Chloro-ortho-toluidine has been isolated and identified in field samples of different plant materials treated with chlordimeform, @ concen of <0.1-0.2 ppm (mg/kg) in young bean leaves, 0.02 0.3 ppm in grape stems, 0.02-0.05 ppm in a mixture of grape stems and berries, and <0.04 ppm in prunes and apples ... .

The Koc for 4-chloro-o-toluidine was estimated as 410(SRC), using a recommended regression-derived equation(1) and an estiamted log Kow of 2.27(2,SRC). According to a suggested classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 4-chloro-o-toluidine has moderate mobility in soil(SRC). 14C labelled 4-chloro-o-toluidine was added to autoclaved soil (pH 7.5, and organic matter, sand, silt, and clay contents of 3.4, 36.6, 28.2, and 35.2%, respectively) and incubated for several weeks; 12.2% of the radioactive label was removed as volatiles, 25% was recovered in a Soxhlet extract, and 55.1% of the radioactive label was obtained after Soxhlet extraction using Bleidner distillation (bound residue fraction)(4). This suggests that a significant portion of the 4-chloro-o-toluidine is bound strongly by this soil(4). Over a 24 hour time period, 34% of applied 4-chloro-o-toluidine was found in the bound residue fraction(5). Binding due to the high reactivity of the aromatic amino group to humus or soil organic matter rather than to clay particles is proposed as a reason for the soil binding ability of anilines(4,5). Low adsorption is observed at a neutral pH with pure clay minerals or soils for substituted anilines(5).

4-Chloro-o-toluidine is produced for use in the production of azo dyes. It is also used as an intermediate for the production of pigments and for chlordimeform, a pesticide(1). The occurrence of 4-chloro-o-toluidine in the environment can be attributed to microbial and/or chemical degradation and photo-decomposition of various pesticides(2). 4-Chloro-o-toluidine is a photochemical degradation product of the acaricide, N'-(4-chloro-o-tolyl)-N,N-dimethylformamidine (Galedron)(3).
