Details on excretion:
pure test material: elimination of radioactivity within 72 h: Urine 81 % (plateau reached after 24 h) , faeces 26 % of administered radioactivity;
carrot tubers macerate: elimination of radioactivity within 72 h: Urine 20 % (plateau reached after 24 h) , faeces 63 % of administered radioactivity;

Executive summary:

Worobey, B.L. and Shields, J.B., 1991

In two male wistar rats that were treated with 4.14 x 104 dpm (5.04 µg) radiolabeled 3,4-dichloroaniline by oral gavage [14C]-residue disposition was unremarkable in terms of tissue bioaccumulation. The radioactivty was excreted mainly via urine (81 %) within the first 24 h after exposure. Only 26 % were excreted via faeces within 72 h. If the test material was given to the rats in combination with carrot tuber maccerate most of the radioactivity was excreted via faeces (63 %) and only 20 % via urine indicating an influence of the carrot tubers on gastrointestinal absorption.
