1-Chloro-3-nitrobenzene's production and use as an intermediate in preparing dyes(1), may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC). Manufacturers that produce o- and p-chloronitrobenzene via nitration of chlorobenzene are expected to produce small amounts of 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene, a minor product of this reaction (0.9%)(2). 1-Chloro-3-nitrobenzene may be formed in drinking water during chlorination if nitrobenzene is present and may also be formed in small quantities during chlorination of sewage effluent when nitrobenzene is present(2). Chlorobenzene is converted to 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene plus various chlorophenols when exposed to UV rays in the presence of nitrogen oxides in air(3). These indirect sources may result in its release to the environment(SRC).

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 310(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene is expected to have moderate mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given a Henry's Law constant of 1.4X10-5 atm-cu m/mole(3). 1-Chloro-3-nitrobenzene is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an extrapolated vapor pressure of 0.097 mm Hg at 25 °C(4). The biodegradation half-life of 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene was >64 days in solutions using microorganisms derived from a soil inoculum(5).|AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 310(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(3) based upon a Henry's Law constant of 1.4X10-5 atm-cu m/mole(4). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 56 hours and 30 days, respectively(SRC). According to a classification scheme(5), BCF values of 77-91 measured in fish(6), suggests bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate(SRC). Screening tests using river water(7) suggest biodegradation of 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene proceeds slowly under aerobic conditions in water. Degradation may proceed more quickly under anaerobic conditions given a biodegradation half-life of 3.2 days in anaerobic estuarine sediment(8). 1-Chloro-3-nitrobenzene was shown to undergo photolysis in pure water and river water when exposed to natural outdoor sunlight(9), suggesting photolysis in sunlit surface water is possible(SRC).|ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene , which has a vapor pressure of 0.097 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 134 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 1.2X10-13 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). 1-Chloro-3-nitrobenzene was shown to undergo photolysis in pure water and river water when exposed to natural outdoor sunlight(4), suggesting photolysis in air is possible(SRC).

The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals has been estimated to be 1.2X10-13 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) using a structure estimation method(1). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 134 days at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals per cu cm(1). 1-Chloro-3-nitrobenzene is not expected to undergo hydrolysis in the environment due to the lack of functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions(2). The irradiation of 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene from 1 to 5 hours using a xenon arc lamp in air free from nitrogen oxides resulted in the formation of 3-chloro-2-nitrophenol, 3-chloro-6-nitrophenol, and 3-chloro-4-nitrophenol(3). 89% of 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene irradiated in air in a quartz vessel disappeared with 3.6% of the reaction product as 3-chloro-2-nitrophenol, 1.1% as 3-chloro-6-nitrophenol, and 23% as 3-chloro-4-nitrophenol(3). The irradiation of 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene in nitrogen without nitrogen oxides present resulted in m-chlorophenol formation(3). In a quartz vessel, 98% of the 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene disappeared with 12% of the reaction product appearing as m-chlorophenol(3). 1-Chloro-3-nitrobenzene was shown to undergo photolysis in pure water and river water when exposed to natural outdoor sunlight(4).|Natural organic matter (NOM) obtained from groundwaters, four streams draining bog areas, two landfill leachates and two extracts from tree materials) were studied for their ability to reduce 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene(1). Under reducing conditions and in the presence of natural organic matter (66 mg C/L in aqueous solution, 5 mM H2S, Eh<-0.2 V) 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene is reduced abiotically mainly to 3-chlorophenylhydroxylamine and 3-chloroaniline. Using NOM from bog water from Hyde County NC, the 2nd order, carbon normalized rate constants for solutions containing 80 uM 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene were recorded as 8X10-5 L/hr-mg C at pH 5.5, 8.1X10-4 L/hr-mg C at pH 7.2 and 2.2X10-3 L/hr-mg C at pH 8.6(1). The results from this study demonstrate that natural organic matter mediates the reduction of substituted nitroaromatic compounds in reducing environments. It is suggested that quinone-type species play a predominant role in natural organic matter mediated reductions of 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene(1). Quinoid-type compounds and iron porphyrins were shown to be effective mediators for the reduction of nitroaromatic compounds, including chloronitrobenzenes(2). Reaction conditions are homogeneous aqueous solutions (pH 6.8-7.0, 5 mM H2S) containing reduced sulfur species as bulk electron donors(2). Therefore, the reduction of chloronitrobenzenes in the environment may occur under reducing conditions in the presence of electron transfer mediators(SRC).

77.62|Rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) were fed a mixture of 14 different chloronitrobenzenes, including 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene, and the amount of 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene present in the fish was measured over 36 days(1). 1-Chloro-3-nitrobenzene was present in trace amounts 3 days following exposure and was not detectable (<5 ug/kg fish) after 8 days. Fish in water containing 800 ng/L of 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene plus the same mixture of chloronitrobenzenes had BCF values for 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene of 77 after 5 days to 91 after 36 days with a mean BCF of 78(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these BCF values suggest bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate(SRC).

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene can be estimated to be 310(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene is expected to have moderate mobility in soil(SRC).

The Henry's Law constant for 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene is 1.4X10-5 atm-cu m/mole(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene is expected to volatilize from water surfaces(2). Based on this Henry's Law constant, the volatilization half-life from a model river (1 m deep, flowing 1 m/sec, wind velocity of 3 m/sec)(2) is estimated as 56 hours(SRC). The volatilization half-life from a model lake (1 m deep, flowing 0.05 m/sec, wind velocity of 0.5 m/sec)(2) is estimated as 30 days(SRC). 1-Chloro-3-nitrobenzene 's Henry's Law constant indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces may occur(SRC). 1-Chloro-3-nitrobenzene is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 0.097 mm Hg(3) at 25 °C(3).

DRINKING WATER: 1-Chloro-3-nitrobenzene was detected in drinking water in the United States at an unknown location and concentration(1). 1-Chloro-3-nitrobenzene was detected in August 1974 at unknown concentrations in drinking water supplies from three New Orleans finished drinking waters(2). 1-Chloro-3-nitrobenzene was detected at unknown concentrations in drinking water supplies in both Cincinnati, OH and New Orleans, LA on January 1980 and January 1976, respectively(3).|SURFACE WATER: 1-Chloro-3-nitrobenzene was measured at three locations in the Elbe River with concentrations ranging from 0.02 to 0.2 ug/L(1). 1-Chloro-3-nitrobenzene was detected at five locations in the Bormida River (in Italy) at concentrations ranging from 0.002 to 0.19 ug/L(2). 180 ng/L of 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene in Rhine River water was measured and was believed to be the source of concentrations of 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene at 4.1 ng/L found during the same time frame in the North Sea(3). Concentrations of 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene at 3.0 ug/L were measured in Rhine River water.

Occupational exposure may occur through inhalation and dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene or other nitrobenzene isomers are produced or used. (SRC)

...The metabolism of the three isomers of chloronitrobenzenes /was examined/ in rabbits. Doe rabbits were given [route unspecified] 0.1 g/kg [whether diet or body weight not specified] 2-chloronitrobenzene and 0.2 g/kg 3- and 4-chloronitrobenzenes. Urine was collected over 24-hr periods until metabolites were no longer excreted (usually after 48 hr). The main metabolic processes were reduction and hydroxylation. For each isomer, nearly the entire dose was excreted in urine as the chloroaniline or derivatives of phenolic metabolites. For all three isomers, about 10% of the administered dose was excreted as chloroaniline. The phenols formed were excreted mainly as conjugates with sulfuric and glucuronic acids (66% of the administered dose for 2-chloronitrobenzene, 51% for 3-chloronitrobenzene and 40% for 4-chloronitrobenzene).|Yields m-chloroaniline and 2-chloro-4-nitrophenol in rabbit.|The metabolism of radiolabeled monochloronitrobenzene isomers was compared in isolated hepatocytes and hepatic subcellular fractions from male Fischer-344 rats. ... The major metabolite formed from 3-chloronitrobenzene by isolated hepatocytes was 3-chloroaniline (31% of the added substrate in 90 min). Smaller amounts of 3-chloroaniline-N-glucuronide and 3-chloroacetanilide were formed (7 and 17% of the added 3-chloronitrobenzene, respectively, in 90 min). ... Studies with hepatic microsomes showed that reduction of the chloronitrobenzenes to chloroanilines was inhibited by SKF 525-A, metyrapone, and carbon monoxide, suggesting that cytochrome P-450 played a role in the reaction.|Metabolism of 3-chloronitro[14C]benzene by isolated male Fischer 344 rat hepatocytes produced 3-chloroaniline as the major metabolite (30.9% of total radioactivity). Much smaller quantities of 3-chloroacetanilide (16.7%) and 3-chloroaniline-N-glucuronide (6.7%) were also produced by this isomer.

Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop. SKIN: IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing. Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water. IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital for treatment after washing the affected areas. INHALATION: IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air. IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop. Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown atmosphere. Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) should be used; if not available, use a level of protection greater than or equal to that advised under Protective Clothing. INGESTION: If the victim is conscious and not convulsing, give 1 or 2 glasses of water to dilute the chemical and IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center. Generally, the induction of vomiting is NOT recommended outside of a physician's care due to the risk of aspirating the chemical into the victim's lungs. However, if the victim is conscious and not convulsing and if medical help is not readily available, consider the risk of inducing vomiting because of the high toxicity of the chemical ingested. Ipecac syrup or salt water may be used in such an emergency. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital. If the victim is convulsing or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth, ensure that the victim's airway is open and lay the victim on his/her side with the head lower than the body. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital. OTHER: Since this chemical is a known or suspected carcinogen you should contact a physician for advice regarding the possible long term health effects and potential recommendation for medical monitoring. Recommendations from the physician will depend upon the specific compound, its chemical, physical and toxicity properties, the exposure level, length of exposure, and the route of exposure.

A GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF O-, M-, AND P-NITROCHLOROBENZENE SIMULTANEOUSLY IN AIR IS DESCRIBED. THE SENSITIVITY IS 1 MG/CU M.|Electron capture gas chromatography was used for determination of chlorinated nitrobenzene residues after extraction and cleanup using a procedure based on the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) multiresidue method for organochlorine and organophosphorous pesticides in nonfatty foods. Identity of residues was confirmed by GC/mass spectrometry. GC retention times for 15 congeners were determined with OV-101 and mixed OV-210 columns at 130 °C. Recoveries of 15 chlorinated nitrobenzenes from spiked fish samples ranged from 68%-116%. GC of cleaned up fish extract aliquots equivalent to 20 mg sample allowed quantitation of individual congeners at levels of 0.025 and 0.005 ppm with (3)H and 63(Ni) EC detectors, respectively.|Analysis of 1-chloro-3-nitro-benzene in environmental samples employed fused silica capillary column chromatography and mass spectroscopy.|Method: EPA-EAD 1625; Procedure: gas chromatography/mass spectrometry; Analyte: 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene; Matrix: water; Detection Limit: not provided.|Method: EPA-OSW 8091; Procedure: gas chromatography with electron capture detector or nitrogen-phosphorous detector; Analyte: 1-chloro-3-nitrobenzene; Matrix: water, soil, and waste matrices; Detection Limit: not provided.
