Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

A study performed with an 80:20 mixture of 2,4- and 2,6-TDA was carried out according to OECD guideline 209 and gave a 3h EC50 > 100 mg/l. It is expected that ortho-TDA would behave similarly.  2,4-TDA is a structural isomer of o-TDA, differing in the substitution pattern of the amine groups on the tolyl ring; having similar physical chemical properties; similar environmental fate; and similar health effects (acute toxicity and genotoxicity). As a result, data from 2,4 -TDA can be used for read across to 2,3- TDA.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The studies with 2,3-TDA and 3,4-TDA use the marine bacteria Vibrio fischeri under saline conditions and therefore have little relevance to sewage treatment plants.

The experimental study with an 80:20 mixture of 2,4- and 2,6-TDA (Caspers et al.) was carried out according to OECD guideline 209 and gave a 3h EC50 > 100 mg/l. It is expected that ortho-TDA would behave similarly.
