Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results and discussion

Results:
experience with occupational exposure to an unspecified mixture of o- and p-chlorotoluene or to the isomere:
400 ppm (= 2.106 mg/m³): Mono-chlorotoluene causes severe toxic effects in persons exposed by inhalation for 60 min.;
200 ppm (= 1.053 mg/m³): Mono-chlorotoluene may lead to symptoms of illness in persons, if the exposure continues for more than a short time; 75 ppm (= 0.395 mg/m³): concentrations in general atmosphere of plant or greater may lead to unsatisfactory conditions (no further data)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:
experience with occupational exposure to an unspecified mixture of o- and p-chlorotoluene or to the isomere:

400 ppm (= 2.106 mg/m³):
Mono-chlorotoluene causes severe toxic effects in persons exposed by
inhalation for 60 min.;

200 ppm (= 1.053 mg/m³):
Mono-chlorotoluene may lead to symptoms of illness in persons, if the
exposure continues for more than a short time;

75 ppm (= 0.395 mg/m³):
concentrations in general atmosphere of plant or greater may lead to
unsatisfactory conditions (no further data)
