High-purity reference materials for accurate residue analysis in food and environmental samples.

Overview

Trichlorotoluene, also known as (Trichloromethyl)benzene, is a chlorinated hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C₇H₅Cl₃. It is a clear liquid with a penetrating odor and is used extensively as a chemical intermediate in the production of dyes, antimicrobial agents, and other chemicals.

Uses

Trichlorotoluene is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of benzoyl chloride, benzotrifluoride, and 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone. These compounds are further utilized in the pharmaceutical industry, pesticide synthesis, dye production, and the creation of UV-absorbing compounds for paint and plastics.

Regulatory

In the United States, Trichlorotoluene is classified as an extremely hazardous substance under the U.S. Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act. In the European Union, it is subject to restrictions due to its classification as a toxic and carcinogenic compound.

Monitoring

Regular monitoring and reporting are required for companies that synthesize, store, or use Trichlorotoluene in large quantities to ensure compliance with regulatory standards.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Trichlorotoluene is harmful if inhaled, causes serious eye damage, may cause cancer, causes skin irritation, is harmful if swallowed, and may cause respiratory irritation. Symptoms of exposure include irritation of eyes, skin, and respiratory tract, as well as potential long-term effects such as bronchitis, bronchopneumonia, and cancer.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

Trichlorotoluene has a low solubility in water and can hydrolyze rapidly to benzoic acid and hydrochloric acid, causing water acidification, which can harm aquatic life. The EC50 for Daphnia magna is 50 mg/L, primarily due to the formation of hydrochloric acid.

Safety Measures

Proper safety measures include using personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and respirators. Work in well-ventilated areas and follow all regulatory guidelines for handling and disposal.
