TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 34(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that o-phenylenediamine is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). However, aromatic amines are expected to bind strongly to humus or organic matter in soils due to the high reactivity of the aromatic amino group(3,4), suggesting that mobility may be much lower in some soils(SRC). Volatilization of o-phenylenediamine from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 7.2X10-9 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), based upon its vapor pressure, 2.06X10-3 mm Hg(5), and water solubility, 4.04X10+4 mg/L(6). o-Phenylenediamine is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure(6). A 100% of total decomposition required greater than 64 days using a soil inoculum(7), suggesting 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 34(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that o-phenylenediamine is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization of the neutral species from water surfaces is not expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 7.2X10-9 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 1.06X10-3 mm Hg(4), and water solubility, 4.04X10+4 mg/L(5). The pKa values of <2 and 4.47(6) indicate o-phenylenediamine will exist partially in the cation form at pH values of 5 to 9 and therefore volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC). According to a classification scheme(7), an estimated BCF of 3(SRC),from its log Kow of 0.15(8) and a regression-derived equation(9), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). o-Phenylenediamine exhibited 33% removal after 5 days incubation using acclimated activated sludge inoculum(10), suggesting that biodegradation may be an important environmental fate process in water(SRC).

ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), o-phenylenediamine, which has a vapor pressure of 2.06X10-3 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase o-phenylenediamine 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 0.7 hours(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 1.8X10-10 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). o-Phenylenediamine absorbs light at wavelengths >290 nm(4) and, therefore, may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).

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.；Methemoglobinemia - The presence of increased methemoglobin in the blood; the compound is classified as secondary toxic effect；IARC Carcinogen - Class 3: Chemicals are not classifiable by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.；ACGIH Carcinogen - Confirmed Animal.

/AQUATIC SPECIES/ The static acute toxicities and degradative rates of the unsubstituted phenylenediamines (pdas) varied significantly among the ortho, para and meta isomers. With fathead minnows, the nominal 96 hr LC50s were 0.06, 44 and 1,600 mg/L for p-pda, o-pda and m-pda, respectively. In daphnid tests, the nominal 48 hr EC50s were 0.28, 0.87 and 5.9 mg/L for p-pda, o-pda and m-pda, respectively. The nominal 96 hr EC50s in algae were 0.28, 0.16, and 2.4 mg/L for p-pda, o-pda and m-pda, respectively. With oxygenation, the times to reach 1/2 initial concentrations were 4 to 9 hr for p-pda, 650 to 1,100 hr for o-pda and 3,200 to 8,100 hr for m-pda. Results suggest that acute toxicities of pdas are related to their chemical reactivities (degradative rates) and that pdas may degrade rapidly under environmental conditions.

/OTHER TERRESTRIAL SPECIES/ ...The toxicity of 10 benzamines was tested by the well diffusion assay technique against 18 common bacterial species including the nitrogen-fixing bacterium Azotobacter vinelandii. ... o-Phenylenediamine was inhibitory to Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pnemoniae, Salmonella enteritidis, and Shigella sonnei. ... Because many of these organisms are common soil and aquatic bacteria, the accumulation of these benzamine compounds in the environment may have an adverse impact on soil biochemical activities.

/PLANTS/ Three isomers of the promutagen phenylenediamine at mM concentrations were plant-activated and induced mutation in stamen hairs of Tradescantia clone 4430. The rank order of the mutagenicity of the isomers was: o-phenylenediamine > m-phenylenediamine > p-phenylenediamine with corresponding mutagenic potencies of 5.60, 1.43, and 0.46 mutant stamen hair cells/mumole, respectively. Diethyldithiocarbamate (DEDTC) and ammonium meta-vanadate (vanadate) repressed the mutagenic activity of o-phenylenediamine (o-PDA) in intact plants. Based on inhibition kinetics and reaction rates, the mechanism of DEDTC antimutagenicity was attributed to the inhibition of peroxidases that are required in the plant activation of o-PDA to mutagenic product(s). Spectrophotometric measurements of equimolar concentrations of o-PDA and vanadate demonstrated that the antimutagenic property of vanadate was mainly due to its reactivity with o-PDA.

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of o-phenylenediamine can be estimated to be 34(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that o-phenylenediamine is expected to have very high mobility in soil. However, aromatic amines are expected to bind strongly to humus or organic matter in soils due to the high reactivity of the aromatic amino group(3,4), suggesting that mobility may be much lower in some soils(SRC).

1,2-Benzenediamine (CAS # 95-54-5) was evaluated for eye irritation in 3 albino rabbits administered undiluted ocular instillations of 100 mg. The treated eyes remained unrinsed during post-instillation observation. Ocular irritation was maximal in all 3 rabbits 1 hour after treatment. A mean irritation score was 31.7/110. One rabbit remained unimproved at 72nd hour observation, developing corneal ulceration and vascularization by the 7th day, while Day 7 found complete resolution of all irritative signs in the other 2 treated rabbits. By 14th day observation period, one rabbit continued to show corneal vascularization and ulceration with slight conjunctival redness comprising an individual irritation score of 12/110 and a mean score (3 rabbits) of 4.0/110. Study investigators assigned a descriptive rating of "moderately irritating" to 1,2-benzenediamine.

o-Phenylenediamine (CAS # 95-54-5) was evaluated for oral neurotoxicity in Crl:CDBR rats (12/sex/group) administered single gavage doses of 0, 225, 450, and 900 mg/kg (10 mL/kg in methyl cellulose). Bodyweight, feed consumption, clinical signs, functional observational battery performance, fore- and hindlimb grip strength, foot splay and motor activity were assessed prior to treatment (baseline values), and at 1 hour, 24 hours, and 4 days post-treatment. Toxicity was demonstrated at all dose levels. High-dose rats, 2 males and 4 females were found dead prior to scheduled sacrifice and significant weight loss within one day of dosing was common to all treatment groups, persisting throughout Day 4. Significant reductions in feed consumption were pronounced initially, but transient in all but the high-dose group. Clinical signs were most severe 2-4 days after treatment and included initial discolored urine, abnormal respiration with gasping, congestion, and sneezing (450, 900 mg/kg), dose-related malaise, postural changes, palpebral closure, and decreased arousal. The functional observational battery, fore-, and hindlimb grip strength and foot splay assessments were not indicative of a neurotoxicity at any treatment level. Motor activity was significantly depressed following treatment in all treatment groups relative to control. Study investigators attributed these findings to a general condition of dose-related malaise and reported no evidence of specific toxic effects on the central nervous system.

Acute dermal toxicity was evaluated in single New Zealand female rabbits receiving one occluded application of o-phenylenediamine to abraded skin at dose levels of 300, 1000, or 3000 mg/kg body weight for 24 hours. Mortality was not observed in any animal at any dose level, and the LD50 was reported to be greater than 3000 mg/kg. Clinical signs of toxicity were not observed, and the test article was not irritating to rabbit skin. Gross necropsy did not reveal any evidence of pathological effects.

Acute inhalation toxicity was evaluated in 10 BR rats (5 male and 5 female) exposed to o-phenylene diamine vapor at a nominal concentration of 1340.0 mg/cu m for 4 hours. The atmosphere was generated by passing a stream of air through the test material in a gas wash bottle. Mortality was not observed in any animal during exposure or a 14 day observation period, and the LC50 was reported to be greater than 1340 mg/cu m. Clinical indications of toxicity were not observed, and necropsy of animals at 14 days did not reveal gross pathologic alterations.

A homologous series of hair dyes was selected for percutaneous absorption studies with excised human skin. The permeability constants obtained for the dyes were compared with octanol/water and skin membrane/water partition coefficients. The compounds examined were: p-phenylenediamine, o-phenylenediamine, 2-nitro-p-phenylenediamine, 2-amino-4-nitrophenol, 4-chloro-m-phenylenediamine, and 4-amino-2-nitrophenol. Skin absorption of the dyes was observed when they were applied in an aqueous solution. With one exception, the octanol/water partition coefficients were in the same rank order as the permeability constants. The determination of the partitioning of the hair dyes between water and either stratum corneum or epidermis was more complex. Preliminary stratum corneum/water partition studies resulted in values that were in the reverse order of skin permeation. When binding of the compounds to components of the membrane was saturated, the partition values more closely duplicated the rank order of permeability of the dyes. Prediction of percutaneous absorption of substances based on their partition coefficients may be confounded if these compounds are capable of binding to skin.
