Excerpt from ERG Guide 153 [Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Combustible)]:

Immediate precautionary measure

MINIMUM PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: If Tyvek-type disposable protective clothing is not worn during handling of this chemical, wear disposable Tyvek-type sleeves taped to your gloves.

Eye/face protection: Tightly fitting safety goggles. Faceshield (8-inch minimum). Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).

Skin protection: Handle with gloves.

Body Protection: Complete suit protecting against chemicals. The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.

Respiratory protection: Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face respirator with multipurpose combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 120(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that 2-chloropyridine is expected to have high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of 2-chloropyridine from moist soil surfaces is expected(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.6X10-5 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure, 2.18 mm Hg(3), and water solubility, 20,000 mg/L(4). 2-Chloropyridine volatilized 37% from soil incubated at 28 °C for 64 days(5). 2-Chloropyridine is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure(3). A 0.5% of Theoretical BOD using activated sludge in the Japanese MITI test(4) suggests that biodegradation is not an important environmental fate process in soil(SRC).

AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 120(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that 2-chloropyridine is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.6X10-5 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) derived from its vapor pressure, 2.18 mm Hg(4), and water solubility, 20,000 mg/L(5). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 2.5 and 22 days, respectively(SRC). 2-Chloropyridine is not expected to undergo hydrolysis in the environment due to the lack of functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions(3). According to a classification scheme(6), BCFs of <20 measured in fish(5), suggest bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. 2-Chloropyridine, incubated for one year anaerobically in an aquifer slurry, was not biodegraded(7).

ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), 2-chloropyridine, which has a vapor pressure of 2.18 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase 2-chloropyridine 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 62 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 2.6X10-13 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). 2-Chloropyridine does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(4) and, therefore, is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).

IDENTIFICATION AND USE: 2-Chloropyridine (2-CPY) is used as an intermediate in synthetic organic, pharmaceutical, and agricultural chemical (fungicides, herbicides) manufacture. It is also used as a catalyst for phase transfer and is a key intermediate in the manufacture of pyrithione-based biocides for use in cosmetics and various pharmaceutical products. HUMAN STUDIES: Photo-treatment of 2-CPY produces genotoxic products discovered when tested in cultured human lymphocytes. ANIMAL STUDIES: Male albino rats were exposed to 2-CPY via inhalation at a concentration of approximately 6.05 mg/L for 6 hours. All animals died within 3 days after exposure. Male and female rabbits were exposed to the undiluted 2-CPY dermally at concentrations of 40, 48, 50, 58, 63, 68, 79, 82 or 100 mg/kg. 2-CPY caused only transient local congestion of the skin when applied to either intact or abraded skin. The primary gross lesion observed was hemorrhagic necrosis of the liver. In rats, liver damage was the primary alteration caused by the inhalation of 2-CPY. In rat developmental studies there were no effects of treatment on mating performance, fertility or length of gestation. There was a slight decrease in pup survival. A bacterial reverse mutation assay was performed on Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 97, TA 98, TA 100, and TA 102, using concentrations of 50, 100, 500, 1000 and 5000 mg/plate. The results were negative without metabolic activation, and positive with metabolic activation in all tester strains.

Testing status for 2-chloropyridine is available.[Available from, as of February 1, 2019: https://ntpsearch.niehs.nih.gov/?e=True&ContentType=Testing+Status]

EPA has released the Interactive Chemical Safety for Sustainability (iCSS) Dashboard. The iCSS Dashboard provides an interactive tool to explore rapid, automated (or in vitro high-throughput) chemical screening data generated by the Toxicity Forecaster (ToxCast) project and the federal Toxicity Testing in the 21st century (Tox21) collaboration. /The title compound was tested by ToxCast and/or Tox21 assays/[USEPA; ICSS Dashboard Application; Available from, as of February 4, 2019: http://actor.epa.gov/dashboard/]

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of 2-chloropyridine can be estimated to be 120(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that 2-chloropyridine is expected to have high mobility in soil(SRC).

/GENOTOXICITY/ 2-Chloropyridine (2-CPY) has been identified as a trace organic chemical in process streams, wastewater and even drinking water. Furthermore, it appears to be formed as a secondary pollutant during the decomposition of specific insecticides. As reported in our previous work, 2-CPY was readily removed and slowly mineralized when subjected to ultraviolet (UV) irradiation at 254 nm. Moreover, 2-CPY was found to be genotoxic at 100 ug/mL but it was not genotoxic at or below 50 ug/mL. In this work 2-CPY aqueous solutions were treated by means of UV irradiation at 254 nm. 2-CPY mineralization history under different conditions is shown. 2-CPY was found to mineralize completely upon prolonged irradiation. Identified products of 2-CPY photolytic decomposition are presented. Solution genotoxicity was tested as a function of treatment time. Aqueous solution samples, taken at different photo-treatment times were tested in cultured human lymphocytes applying the cytokinesis block micronucleus (CBMN) assay. It was found that the solution was genotoxic even when 2-CPY had been practically removed. This shows that photo-treatment of 2-CPY produces genotoxic products. Upon prolonged irradiation solution genotoxicity values approached the control value.

2-Chloropyridine's production and use in the production of antihistamines, germicides, pesticides and agricultural chemicals(1), and as an intermediate in the manufacture of pyrithione-based biocides for use in cosmetics and various pharmaceutical products(2) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC).

AEROBIC: 2-Chloropyridine, present at 100 mg/L, reached 0.5% of its Theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(1). 2-Chloropyridine did not biodegrade in a 64-day aerobic soil biodegradation study(2).

ANAEROBIC: 2-Chloropyridine, incubated for one year anaerobically in an aquifer slurry, was not biodegraded(1).

PURE CULTURE: Using enrichment cultures isolated from garden soil, 2-chloropyridine, incubated for one year anaerobically in an aquifer slurry, was not biodegraded(1).

BCFs of <20 and <1.2 were reported in carp (Cyprinus carpio) which were exposed to 0.1 and 1.0 ppm of 2-chloropyridine, respectively, over a 6-week period(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these BCFs suggest the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low.

The Henry's Law constant for 2-chloropyridine is estimated as 1.63X10-5 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) derived from its vapor pressure, 2.18 mm Hg(1), and water solubility, 20,000 mg/L(2). This Henry's Law constant indicates that 2-chloropyridine is expected to volatilize from water surfaces(3). Based on this Henry's Law constant, the volatilization half-life from a model river (1 m deep, flowing 1 m/sec, wind velocity of 3 m/sec)(3) is estimated as 2.5 days(SRC). The volatilization half-life from a model lake (1 m deep, flowing 0.05 m/sec, wind velocity of 0.5 m/sec)(3) is estimated as 22 days(SRC). 2-Chloropyridine's estimated Henry's Law constant indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces may occur(SRC). The potential for volatilization of 2-chloropyridine from dry soil surfaces may exist(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure(1). 2-Chloropyridine volatilized 37% from soil incubated at 28 °C for 64 days(4).

/LABORATORY ANIMALS: Acute Exposure/ Ten male albino rats, weighing 235 to 270 g, were exposed to the test substance via inhalation at a concentration of approximately 6.05 mg/L for 6 hours. The exposure was conducted in a 354 L stainless steel chamber. The total airflow through the system was 49-1 liters/minute. Food and water were available ad libitum, except during the period of exposure. During exposure, rats were observed for signs of toxicity and mortality continuously for 1 hour and at 1/2 hour intervals thereafter until the end of the exposure period. After the exposure period, the rats were observed daily for 14 days. A necropsy was performed on all rats. All animals died within 3 days after exposure. Observations during exposure included hypoactivity, sedation and ataxia. At the end of 4 hours of exposure, all rats were prostrate. Three rats exhibited dyspnea. Three rats died between 4 and 6 hours of the exposure period. At the end of 6 hours the surviving rats were prostrate, comatose and dyspneic. Within 24 hours, 2 additional rats died. The remaining 5 rats were still prostrate and comatose. Clear ocular discharge was noted. Within the following 24-hour period after exposure, 4 more rats died. The tenth rat died at 3 days post exposure. Necropsy findings in all rats included congestion of the lungs and liver, slight congestion of the small intestines, blood in the abdominal cavity and/or severe hemorrhages of the stomach, small intestines and urinary bladder.

/LABORATORY ANIMALS: Acute Exposure/ Groups of male and female rabbits, weighing 1.3 to 2.3 kg, were exposed to the undiluted test substance dermally at concentrations of 40, 48, 50, 58, 63, 68, 79, 82 or 100 mg/kg /(4-5 animals per dose)/. LD50 - 64 mg/kg (confidence limits - 55.5 to 73.5 mg/kg). The test substance caused only transient local congestion of the skin when applied to either intact or abraded skin. The primary gross lesion observed was hemorrhagic necrosis of the liver.

/LABORATORY ANIMALS: Acute Exposure/ Groups of female rats, approximately 10 weeks old and weighing 132 to 190 g, were exposed to the test substance via inhalation at concentrations of 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1000 ppm for 0.1 to 7.0 hours /(10-20 animals/dose)/. The concentration of 2-chloropyridine was monitored continuously during the exposure by infrared spectrophotometry. The degree and character of organic damage resulting from exposure to the test substance were the presence of gross pathologic or histopathologic lesions, hematologic alterations, organ weight changes and changes in the blood chemistry. Liver, kidney, spleen, heart, lungs and brain were examined for weight changes and together with pancreas and adrenals for the presence of histologic lesions. Hematologic studies consisted of erythrocyte, leukocyte and differential counts and hematocrit and hemoglobin determinations. Parameters used to detect changes in blood chemistry were blood urea nitrogen, serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase and serum glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase. Rats were observed for 2 weeks post-exposure. LC50 >/= 100 ppm but < 250 ppm. The concentration of 2-chloropyridine vapor was within 7% of the desired concentration throughout the exposure period. Liver damage was the primary alteration caused by the inhalation of the test article. Histopathologic examinations revealed that the test substance caused central lobular necrosis, hemorrhage and fatty degeneration as well as cellular infiltration. The extent and type of damage varied with the exposure. Maximum single-dose exposures not causing these changes were 100 ppm for 3 minutes, 50 ppm for 6 minutes, 25 ppm for 12 minutes and 10 ppm for 30 minutes. Maximum single-dose exposures that did not cause death 1000 ppm for 6 minutes, 500 ppm for 12 minutes, 250 ppm for 30 minutes, 100 ppm for 2 hours and 50 ppm for 4 hours.

/LABORATORY ANIMALS: Acute Exposure/ Groups of 6 male rats were administered a single dose of the test substance suspended in a 0.5% aqueous dispersion of methylcellulose via oral gavage at concentrations of 100, 215, 464, 681, 1000, 1470 and 2150 mg/kg. Each dose level was prepared in a concentration that enabled the delivery of a constant volume of 1.0 mL/100 g of body weight. ... Food was withheld from all rats for 16 hours prior to dosing. Food and water were available ad libitum at all other times. Rats were observed for signs of toxicity and mortality continuously for 4 hours post-dose, at 24 hours post dose and once daily thereafter for 13 days. At the termination of the 14-day observation period, surviving rats were sacrificed. Necropsies were performed on all rats. LD50 - 342 mg/kg (confidence limits - 211-558 mg/kg). At 16 hours post-dose, 4 rats in the 100 mg/kg dose group exhibited nasal porphyrin. At 24 hours post-dose, 4 rats appeared hypoactive. All animals appeared normal thereafter until study termination. Two rats in the 215 mg/kg dose group exhibited nasal porphyrin discharge at 4 hours post-dose. At 24 hours post-dose 4 rats were ataxic, sedate, hypoactive and displayed nasal porphyrin discharge. At 2 days all rats were hypoactive and continued to demonstrate nasal discharge. One animal was found dead on day 3. The remaining rats appeared normal throughout the remainder of the observation period. Within 6 hours 5 rats from the 464 mg/kg dose group exhibited ataxia and hypoactivity. One rat became prostrate. At 24 hours all rats were ataxic and exhibited nasal porphyrin. One rat was prostrate and dyspneic. At 2 days 1 rat died and 2 were ataxic and the remaining 3 appeared hypoactive. At 3 days all 5 rats were hypoactive and appeared depressed. At 4 days one died and the remaining 4 continued to be hypoactive and became hypersensitive to touch. Two more rats died on days 5 and 6. The remaining 2 rats were hypoactive and hypersensitive to touch. A fifth rat died. The remaining rat recovered and appeared normal from days 9 through 14. Rats in the 681, 1000, 1470 and 2150 mg/kg dose groups displayed hypotonia, ataxia, sedation, hypnosis, loss of righting reflex, pinna and placing reflexes, bradypnea, dyspnea, cyanosis, ptosis, salivation and reduced pain responses within 2 to 18 hours post-dose. Rats in all dose groups except the 681 mg/kg dose group died within 2 to 4 hours post-dose. Rats in the 681 mg/kg dose group died within 3 days. At necropsy, 1 rat in the 100 mg/kg dose group had hydronephrosis. The rat that died in the 215 mg/kg dose group exhibited a pale liver with friable accentuated lobules and the lungs were congested. Necropsy findings in the rats that died in the 464 mg/kg dose group included congested lungs, congested liver, hemorrhages of the stomach, small intestines and urinary bladder and icterus. All rats in the 100, 215 and 464 mg/kg dose groups that survived to the 14-day post-exposure period had essentially normal necropsy findings. Necropsy findings in the 681, 1000, 1470 and 2150 mg/kg dose groups included scrotal erythema, hemorrhages of the stomach, intestines and urinary bladder and congested lungs and liver. Hydronephrosis (unilateral and bilateral) was scattered in all groups.
