Technical Report · Thu May 01 04:00:00 EDT 1986

OSTI ID:6648315

The Health and Environmental Effects Profile for 2,4-toluenediamine was prepared by the Office of Health and Environmental Assessment, Environmental Criteria and Assessment Office, Cincinnati, OH for the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response to support listings of hazardous constituents of a wide range of waste streams under Section 3001 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and to provide health-related limits for emergency actions under Section 101 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). Both published literature and information obtained from Agency program office files were evaluated as they pertained to potential human health, aquatic life, and environmental effects of hazardous waste constituents. 2,4-Toluenediamine has been evaluated as a carcinogen. The human carcinogen potency factor (ql*) for 2,4-toluenediamine is 3.2 (mg/kg/day)-1 for oral exposure. The Reportable Quantity (RQ) value for 2,4-toluenediamine is 100.
