Chemical analyses of possible effluents from pilot coal conversion facilities reveal that they contain five major classes of organic compounds: (1) phenols, (2) monoaromatic hydrocarbons, (3) polyaromatic hydrocarbons, (4) arylamines, and (5) sulfur-containing compounds. Quinoline and its methyl-substituted derivatives are examples of such compounds and are present in significant quantities in waters from coal conversion processes. It is the purpose of this report to examine the toxicity and teratogenicity of several pure aromatic amines known to be present in coal conversion process waters on the early embryonic stages of, South African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis.
