Toxicity

moderately toxic

LD50 Mouse ip was 755 mg/kg

p-Chloroacetanilide was formed as a metabolite by soil bacteria exposed to 4-chloroaniline(1).

TERRESTRIAL FATE: An estimated Koc of 340(1,SRC) based on an experimental log Kow(2) suggests that p-chloroacetanilide will have moderate mobility in soil(3,SRC); leaching of this compound may be possible(SRC). Incomplete information is available regarding the biodegradation potential of p-chloroacetanilide; however, p-chloroacetanilide was partially biodegraded (from 30-75% of the theoretical methane production) under anaerobic conditions using a secondary digester sludge inoculum over 8 weeks(4). p-Chloroacetanilide will not volatilize from moist soil surfaces based on an estimated Henry's Law constant of 4.6X10-9 atm-cu m/mole(5,SRC).|AQUATIC FATE: Incomplete information is available regarding the biodegradation potential of p-chloroacetanilide; however, p-chloroacetanilide was partially biodegraded (from 30-75% of the theoretical methane production) under anaerobic conditions over an 8 week period using a secondary digester sludge inoculum(1). An estimated BCF value of 24(3,SRC), based on an experimental log Kow(2), indicates that p-chloroacetanilide will not bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms(SRC). p-Chloroacetanilide is not expected to volatilize from water surfaces based on a Henry's Law constant of 4.6X10-9 atm-cu m/mole(4,SRC).|ATMOSPHERIC FATE: Based on an estimated vapor pressure of 8.33X10-6 mm Hg at 25 °C(1,SRC), p-chloroacetanilide will exist in both the vapor phase and particulate phase in the ambient atmosphere(2,SRC). p-Chloroacetanilide will degrade in the vapor phase by reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals with an estimated half-life of about 4 days(3,SRC). Particulate-phase p-chloroacetanilide may be removed physically from air by wet and dry deposition(SRC).

The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of p-chloroacetanilide with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals has been estimated as 3.9X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(1,SRC). This value corresponds to an atmospheric half-life for p-chloroacetanilide of about 4 days at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals/cu cm (1,SRC).

A BCF of 24 was calculated for p-chloroacetanilide, using an experimental log Kow of 2.12(1) and a recommended regression-derived equation(2,SRC). This BCF value suggests that p-chloroacetanilide will not bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms(2,SRC).

Based on an experimental log Kow of 2.12(1), the Koc of p-chloroacetanilide is estimated as approximately 340 using a regression-derived equation(2,SRC). According to a suggested classification scheme, this estimated Koc value suggests that p-chloroacetanilide has moderate mobility in soil(3,SRC).

The Henry's Law constant for p-chloroacetanilide is estimated as 4.6X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(1,SRC). This value indicates that p-chloroacetanilide will essentially not volatilize from water surfaces(2,SRC).
