Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Any other information on results incl. tables

In a 10-year study period following 1956, the clinical and
laboratory evaluation of in total 187 cases of cyanosis in
factory workers exposed to aromatic nitro and amino
compounds, o-chloroaniline was ranked "most potent"
(together with the other isomers).
Urine and (secondarily) blood analyses for the TS and
methemoglobin form the basis of a control program designed
for early warning of excessive exposure. A biological
threshold limit value in urine of 1 ppm is suggested by the
author.
