-------
Inorganic chemicals associated with the production of the IOC of Table
A-l are listed in Table A-3 for information purposes. Many of these conr-
pounds are quite toxic and may sometimes be found in waste streams from IOC
production. The consideration of these inorganic chemicals is outside the
scope of this study but they may need consideration in follow-on studies.
Organic Dyes and Pigments
The ODP master tables include raw materials (Table B-l), intermediates
(Table B-2), and dyes and pigments (Table B-3) taken from reference 15.
There are 32 raw materials used in ODP production listed in Table B-l.
Three of these compounds (item numbers 11, 26, and 31) are also listed in
Table A-l. In addition, 113 compounds listed in Table A-l are marked DP,
indicating that these are also dye and pigment raw materials. Thus, there
are a total of 142 ODP raw materials included in these two tables. ODP
intermediates (764 items) are listed in Table B-2. However, 42 of the
numerical sequence of listed items are actually cross-reference indicators,
so that the number of unique compounds listed is 722. In addition, 26 of
these are also in Table A-l, so that the number of new compounds is actually
696. ODP are found in Table B-3 (1458 items) and Table B-3 Addendum (30
items). However, ODP in the addendum table are only modifications (e.g.,
food dye forms) of the ODP in Table B-3.
Essentially the same data was obtained on these items as for IOC. The
major differences were that appreciably less toxicity and production data
were found but that many more compounds had to be searched to obtain these
data. Some qualitative but no quantitative waste data were available. No
attempt was made to identify end uses for specific ODP. Inorganic chemicals
associated with ODP production are listed in Table B-4, along with inorganics
in Table A-3 marked DP. The same comments apply to these inorganic chemi-
cals as were made earlier for IOC-associated inorganics.
Toxicity Data - IOC
A brief summary of the various tabulated toxicity data is provided here
to show the extent of available data. These data are tabulated in various e
extraction tables discussed below and also in Section 6 - Data Extraction
Tables (cf Appendix E) . The data are extracted from Appendix A, Table A-l.
Quantitative Human Toxicity Data—
Human toxicity data are available on 126 compounds (30 percent of IOC).
These data are listed in Tables E-3 and E-13. Examination of these tables
shows 98 reported deaths resulting from exposure to specific compounds.
However, 67 of these data are toxic hazard scale estimates derived from
reference 39 (as listed in reference 2, 1977 edition), rather than actual
lethality data. Thus 31 of the deaths listed in Tables E-3 and E-13 are
based on actual reported death incidents, while the remaining 67 are
apparently estimates based on animal test data. These 67 data are taken
from a toxic hazard rating scale, e.g., 5-50 mg/kg, extremely toxic. Hence
they are always in units of 5, 50, 500 or 5000 mg/kg.
21
-------
Carcinogenic, Teratogenic and Mutagenic Data—
Carcinogenic or neoplastic effects have been observed on 63 (15 percent)
of the IOC (Tables E-4 and E-13). Of these, six are recognized human carcino-
gens, two others are suspected human carcinogens and at least 14 are potent
animal carcinogens. A potent carcinogen is arbitrarily defined here as any
recognized human carcinogen or any animal carcinogen or neoplasam response
from any exposure <_ 1 gm/kg body weight by any route over any time period.
Also 12 compounds (3 percent) are teratogens or mutagens, with 7 of
these (58 percent) also carcinogens (Table E-5). Five of these items (IOC
numbers 86, 101, 187, 204, and 286) were added during the 1979 revision.
There are also 6 IOC-Addendum (Table A-2) compounds listed because of the
importance of this data type. • Included with these are 2 new additions
(IOC-ADD 42 and 65) since 1976.
Quantitative Oral Toxicity—
The master table of IOC (Table A-2) contains 418 number compound list-
ings. These include 353 different basic organic chemicals, plus 65 isomeric
forms. There are 326 (78 percent) of these compounds with quantitative oral
toxicity data of widely varying types. However, the most prevalent toxicity
data that can be fairly compared for evaluating relative toxic hazard is
LD50, oral-rat. These data are available on 245 (59 percent) of the 418
compounds (Table E-6). Of these data, 64 values (26 percent of 245, 15
percent of 418) are - 500 mg/kg. These compounds are given ordinal ratings
as a function of decreasing toxicity in Table E-6.
Also 130 compounds (31 percent of 418) have LD50, oral-animal other
than rat. Of these data, 107 are on compounds that also have LD50, oral-
rat data, i.e., they are overlap data. However 23 (5.5 percent of 418) of
these data are on compounds that do not have LD50, oral-rat data, with 2 of
these (0.15 percent of 418) values ^ 500 mg/kg (cf Table E-7, rating no's 1
and 6). Also listed in Table E-7 are an additional 14 compounds with LD50,
oral-animal other than rat toxicity data = 500 mg/kg. These are compounds
which have LD50, oral-rat data > 500 mg/kg. Thus a total of 276 (66 percent)
of the 418 IOC compounds have some other type of LD50, oral data, with 87
(21 percent) showing some values = 500 mg/kg.
There are also 95 compounds with LDLo, oral-any animal data. Sixteen
(16 or 1.2 percent of 418) of these compounds (Table E-8) have LDLo, oral
^ 500 mg/kg, but do not have LD50, oral-rat data at this toxicity level.
Summarizing to this point, oral toxicity data values = 500 mg/kg are
available as follows:
LD50, oral rat 64 compounds
LD50, oral-animal other than rat 2 compounds
LDLo, oral-animal other than rat 16 compounds.
Thus at least 82 (20 percent) of the IOC have acute oral toxicity data that
indicate they may represent toxic hazards.
22
-------
Quantitative Inhalation Toxicity—
There are quantitative inhalation toxicity data on 116 (28 percent) of
the 418 IOC. Thirty-one (31, 7.4 percent) of these are LC50 data, while the
rest are LCLo or TCLo data. The LC50 data (Table E-9) include about 18 com-
pounds (4.3 percent of 418) showing lethality at _< 1000 ppm or <_ 200 mg/m3
(arbitrary scale), (variable animal and exposure time). About 11 (2.6 per-
cent) of these compounds show lethality at the 500 ppm or lower level. The
rating order shown must be considered approximate in view of the variations
in the tests and results (animals, exposure time, units).
Additional Quantitative Toxicity Values—
A number of remaining toxicity data, varying widely in terms of animal,
chemical administration path and exposure mode/time are grouped together in
Table E-10. Only those data ^ 500 mg/kg or 1000 ppm are included and the
data are arranged alphabetically according to compound. There are 59 items
listed in unordered fashion due to the wide variation in the data types. An
additional 15 compounds added to this list during the 1979 update are in
Table E-13. Thus a total of 74 (18 percent) are in this category. Some of
these compounds have LD50, orl-rat _< 500 mg/kg.
IOC (Table A-l) Summary—
About 88 percent of the 418 IOC have some toxicity data (quantitative)
or information (qualitative) presented. About 80 percent have quantitative
data while the remaining 20 percent have only qualitative information.
However, it must be emphasized that, in spite of the rather numerous quanti-
tative data presented, by far the most prevalent data obtained under con-
ditions that permit reasonably valid data comparisons are LD50, oral-rat.
These data exist on only 59 percent of the IOC. Also most of the compounds
that do not have LD50, oral-rat data have no common data base, since the
other LD50 data, the LC50 data, the LDLo and LCLo data are each available
on only about 31 percent, or less, of the IOC and were obtained using a wide
range of animals and exposure modes. Thus there is only moderate to slight
internal consistency in these data. Overall the available data may be
summarized as follows:
Percent of
Compound category or toxicity type IOC
Toxicity information of any type 88
Quantitative toxicity data—all types 80
Oral toxicity data—all types 78
LD50, oral—all animals 64
LD50, oral-rat 59
Inhalation toxicity data—all types 28
Carcinogenic or neoplasam data—all types 15
LC50, ihl—all animals 6
LC50, ihl-rat 4
Mutagenic or teratogenie data—all types 3
There are sufficient toxicity data available to provide a basis for deter-
minating the relative hazard potential of most of the high volume IOC. Con-
sequently, the task of selecting candidate products/processes for such
purposes as new source performance standards evaluations can go forward.
23
-------
However there are serious gaps in the toxicity data base, as demonstrated
above, and searches for additional data and identification of compounds
requiring additional experimental toxicity evaluation should be instituted.
Toxicity Data - IOC Addendum
There are 92 additional IOC compounds recommended for addition to the
master IOC list in Table A-2, together with the readily available toxicity
data. These IOC compounds show a similar breakdown of available toxicity
data. Inspection of this table (there are no extraction tables) shows LD50,
oral-rat available on 57 compounds (62 percent). Six more compounds (6 per-
cent) have other LD50 data or LC50 data. Of these data 15 LD50, oral-rat
values (16 percent) are = 500 mg/kg and 7 (7.4 percent) other LD50 and LC50
values = 500 mg/kg or = 1000 ppm are available. Thus 63 compounds in this
table (68 percent) have LD50 or LC50 toxicity data with at least 22 of these
data (23.9 percent) indicative of potential hazards. Seventeen compounds
(18 percent) have carcinogenic data, with about 10 (10.9 percent) of these
showing potent carcinogenic potential. There are also 5 compounds with
teratogenic or mutagenic data, with one of these also a carcinogen. Thus the
data are similar in availability to master Table A-l.
IOC Toxicity Data - Overall Summary
To summarize, the combined IOC data compilations show that a good amount
of toxicity data is available. About 88 percent of all IOC covered have
some type of toxicity data. These data should prove very useful in rating
the potential hazard of IOC when analyzed together with other factors such
as production volumes, losses to the environment during production (waste
stream factors), significant use patterns, and other factors such as
physical and chemical properties and environmental stability.
Some serious gaps are identified in the toxicity data base. For
example, the data presented identify a number of compounds that are candi-
dates for LD50, oral-rat testing, in order to provide a more complete common
data base. Also volatile compounds that do not presently have LC50 data
and numerous compounds that do not have carcinogenic test data but might be
anticipated to show carcinogenic potential are present. These data gaps can
be filled in one of two ways. Searches of the primary literature can be
done to obtain data not yet added to the secondary compendiums used as
data sources in the present study. The data gaps still remaining should then
be filled by additional toxicological testing. Compounds to be tested and
toxicity data to be sought should be selected only after careful analysis of
the updated data base.
Toxicity Data - PDF (Appendix H)
ODP Raw Materials and Intermediates—
There are LD50, oral-rat data on 10 of 31 (32 percent) ODP raw materials
(Table G-4), with 5 of the values (16 percent) = 500 mg/kg. Only 48 (6.5
percent) of the 722 intermediates have LD50 oral-rat data with 15 (2 percent)
^ 500 mg/kg (Table G-5). There are 7 dyes (Table G-5) with ID50 oral-rat
24
-------
data, none of which is below 500 mg/kg. The total list of raw materials and
intermediates (753 compounds) has 13 human toxicity exposure data (2 lethal)
(Table G-2) and 45 carcinogenic data entries (Table G-3). There are 6 recog-
nized human carcinogens in the intermediates table, and several more compounds
with potential carcinogenic animal test data that suggest that these compounds
should be scrutinized more closely. There are no inhalation data presented
on these compounds. Table G-7 contains 4 human and 4 animal 1979 data.
OOP - Dyes and Pigments—
There are 22 (1.5 percent of 1458) dyes and pigments with carcinogenic
data (Table G-3). About 6 of these appear to be potent carcinogens in
animal tests. Only 7 dyes and pigments have oral toxicity data. One dye
has human lethality data (Table G-2) available. No inhalation toxicity data
were found.
ODP Toxicity Data Summary—
Toxicity data are available on 150 ODP intermediates and dyes and pig-
ments, with most of the data on intermediates. This is only 6.9 percent of
the total of 2180 intermediates and dyes and pigments. Hence far fewer
toxicity data are available on this class of products, then on the IOC.
Process Data
Reference 1 and 15 were relied on for production process data, since
these prior EPA studies had attempted to obtain this information in detail.
The Radian Organic Chemical Producers Data Base Program (Reference 12)
updated this information on IOC. As additional process information becomes
available, it should be incorporated into updated versions of the present
report.
Waste Stream Data
Quantitative waste stream data, which includes data on 1 or more
specific compounds in each case, are available on 119 of the IOC (28.4 per-
cent of 418). This includes water effluent data on 16 compounds and air
emissions data on 18 compounds from Reference 1 and emissions factor data
on 85 compounds from Reference 12. These data vary widely in availability
of specific compound information. The range of effluent and emissions
levels relative to industrial production over appreciable time periods is
not available. Neither is information on how the data were collected or how
the calculations were made. Consequently the validity and accuracy of the
data are not known. Only a small amount of qualitative information is
available on ODP products.
Production Volumes
Production volume data were obtained from the best available sources.
Data are available on 163 (39 percent) of the IOC compounds in Table A-l.
They are also presented on 27 (29 percent) of the 93 compounds in IOC
addendum Table A-2. Production data presented cover years ranging from
1968 through 1978, with most data for 1973 (124 items, 39 percent). 1973
is considered the best recent base year for comparing compounds on the
25
-------
basis of relative production levels, since it represents data prior to the
major perturbations resulting from the oil embargo and subsequent raw
materials and energy shortages, and the effects of the 1974 economic
recession. Data for the 50 highest volume compounds in 1978 (10, June 11,
1979) are also included in Tables A-l and A-2.
ODP production volumes are available on 23 (3 percent) of 722 inter-
mediates (Table B-2) and 273 (19 percent) of 1458 dyes and pigments (Table
B-3).
The major source of production volume data is the U.S. Tariff Commission
(9,10). This government agency collects statistical data on industrial pro-
duction directly from the companies. However, quantitative data are only
published if there are 3 or more producing companies. This is done to pro-
tect the confidentially of the data when only 1 or 2 producers are involved.
Hence, these data are in the USTC files but are unavailable for public
disclosure. All other published data ultimately are derived from figures
released for publication by. the producing companies or from data estimates
based on known industrial capacities and general production levels.

SECTION 7
DATA EXTRACTION TABLES
The master tables (Tables A-l, A-2, A-3, B-l, B-2, B-3, and B-4)
are thorough compilations of correlated data and information. They can
be used as convenient references for many types of data on IOC or ODP
compounds or processes. However, the information contained in these
master compilations can be put to use much more effectively or efficiently
if various types of data or information are extracted and presented in
more compact correlations. A number of these more readily usable data
extractions have been identified and compiled for use on this task study.
No doubt additional combinations or ways of correlating or presenting
the data can, and will be, devised. Most of the extraction tables have
already been referred to and some of the contents discussed in Section
6, since they were convenient sources of data on the range of data availabi-
lity. Thus their contents and meanings have already been discussed to
some extent. There are two sets of extraction tables presented, those
on the IOC in Appendix E and those on the ODP in Appendix G. There are
13 IOC extraction tables (Tables E-l through E-13) and 7 ODP extractions
tables (Tables G-l through G-7). These tables, what is in them and the
reasons for their compilation are described below.
IOC EXTRACTION TABLES
The 13 tables are given in sequence, followed by a brief description
of their contents and usefulness.
U.S. Occupational Standard (USOS) for
Concentrations in Air-Industrial Organic Chemicals
Listed Alphabetically According to Compound (Table E-l)
The USOS are workplace standards developed from industrial experience
and experimental animal studies. They are not intended as relative indices
of hazard or toxicity but they do indicate a level of concern engendered
on the basis of human experience. The list of compounds represents commercial
compounds that have come into question in the past and should therefore
include many of the IOC or ODP that are potential health hazards.
USOS Standards Listed According to
Increasing Standard Concentrations (Table E-2)
Experience has presumably resulted in accidental exposures, or
testing has produced data, on which of the USOS compounds pose the greatest
health threat. Thus listing them with the lowest exposure level compounds
first provides one approach to identifying compounds that should be looked
at very closely across their spectrum of properties.
27
-------
Human Toxicity Data (Tables E-3 and E-13)
Accidental human exposure data of four types are listed: LDLo,
LCLo, TDLo, and TCLo. The exposure mode and toxic effect are noted, with
the quantitative exposure data. Of particular note are at least 31 cases
of death noted after exposure to various of the chemicals (LDLo and LCLo).
It seems reasonable to subject those compounds which have caused human
death, especially at low or moderately low exposure concentrations (cf
Table E-3), to closer scrutiny. Of lesser note but still important are
the IOC which have produced toxic effects but not death. Again, the
compounds producing measurable effects at the lowest doses or concentra-
tions should be the greatest cause for concern. Since the modes of exposure
and the resultant exposure levels have varied so widely no attempt has
been made to order the compounds in terms of relative hazard potential.
This list of compounds can be compared with the other lists to be described
below, for commonality of entrants.
Carcinogens or Suspected Carcinogens (Tables E-4 and E-13)
Chemicals which produce tumors (cancerous growths or neoplasms) are
of particular concern today to the average person. This is true even
though acute or chronic health conditions of other types may also be likely
to occur to the average citizen.
In view of this special interest, carcinogens have been listed separately
in the master tables and have been extracted into Tables E-4 and E-13.
The TCLo quantitative data, administration mode/animal, and toxic effect
noted are listed. As in the case of human exposure data, the modes of
test and resultant data units are so variable that no attempt was made
to present the compounds in order of decreasing toxic effect. It is not
possible on the basis of the present study to determine which compounds
pose the greatest toxic hazard, beyond those compounds already labeled
as known human carcinogens. Each of these compounds should be viewed
as candidates for further study and for comparison with the other lists
for commonality.
Teratogens and Mutagens (Tables E-5 and E-13)
Eleven (11) compounds with animal test data indicating that they
are teratogens and 1 with data implicating it as a mutagen, are listed
in Tables E-5 and E-13. It is of interest that 5 of the 11 compounds
with teratogenic data, also have been implicated as potent carcinogens.
When this is coupled with carcinogenic potential, these compounds are
of high toxic hazard potential and should be included in any list of com-
pounds to receive further, close study.
There are also 4 teratogens and 1 mutagen in this table from the
IOC Addendum list (Table A-2), and 3 dyes that have shown potent teratogenic
characteristics in animal tests. Two of these are also animal carcinogens.
All categories of chemicals (IOC, ODP) covered by this study were
included in this table because of the small total number of compounds
involved. These compounds should also be compared with the other lists
of toxic data to determine commonality.
28
-------
Oral Toxicity (LD50. Rat) (Table E-6)
As described earlier this is by far the most prevalent toxicity data
that can be fairly compared for ranking purposes. There are data on 59 per-
cent of the IOC, with at least one-fourth (15 percent of the IOC) at an
LD50 level (- 500 mg/kg) that can be considered a potential hazard level.
These data are arranged in order of increasing LD50. Of course, lowest
LD50 equates with highest toxicity.
Any data on carcinogenicity (Tables E-4 and E-13) and teratogencity
or mutagenicity (Tables E-5 and E-13) are also cross-listed in Table E-6.
Production volumes and the existence of quantitative waste stream data
(Table A-l) are also listed. Thus, this table is one of the most important
extraction tables, containing four types of correlated information that
bear on determining whether compounds pose a potential hazard and "prioriti-
zing" the relative degree of hazard posed. The existence of commonality,
whether it is 2, 3 or all 4 data types, and the ranking of each data type
(LD50, carcinogenic potential, production volume, quantitative loss patterns),
are all of obvious importance in determining which compounds/processes
are most hazardous. However, a method of weighting (prioritization criteria)
these widely differing factors is not yet available. Determination of
realistic weighting criteria while difficlut, should be pursued.
It can be concluded, however, that the most toxic compounds (for
example, the first 64 items in Table E-6) should be viewed with special
care. Each of these compounds which is produced in sizeable volume, which
has been implicated as having carcinogenic potential or which has known
losses of the product or the greatest potential losses through accidents,
should be evaluated as carefully as possible. Furthermore, some compounds
ranked above 64 should also be considered potential hazards, particularly
if they are produced at higher volumes than some more toxic chemicals,
if they are implicated as carcinogens, or if the processes by which they
are produced are known to have sizeable waste losses of the product.
One important observation to be noted is that only 41 (64 percent)
of the first 64 compounds have any one of the other 3 data available and
that compounds with 2, or all 3, correlated data are very few. Thus,
any scheme that can be developed for quantifying assessment of these four
data types can only be applied to a very few of the compounds at the present
time.
It should also be pointed out that the accuracy of the LD50 levels
shown in Table E-6 is essentially unknown. Where LD50 data have been
obtained on the same compound in two or more testing programs the results
may or may not agree closely. This can be quickly seen by scanning the
data in Table A-l. However, in some cases the variation is relatively
great. This is shown as follows:
29
-------
IOC LD50 Values,
Item No. oral-rat Ratio
39 5700/3800 1.5
51 3100/1230 2.5
70 4360/790 5.5
81 8790/2940 3.0
103 2078/886 2.3
111 2020/242 8.3
116 1400/290 4.8
201 580/95 6.1
308 2828/1297 2.2
The reasons for these variations (many sizable) are unknown but presumably
is related to study protocol or data processing differences. They show
that rating schemes must be viewed with caution!
Oral Toxicity (LD50, Animal Other Than Rat) (Tables E-7 and E-13)
Oral toxicity LD50 data are also available in which animals other
than rats were used. Data of this type up to LD50 values of 500 mg/kg
are listed in Tables E-7 and E-13. These are data on compounds not listed
in Table E-6, i.e., not subjected to acute oral toxicity tests using rats.
The same additional correlated data are present, but fewer of these data
are available. Similar LDLo data are found in Table E-8, not discussed.
Table E-7 compounds should be roughly comparable in potential toxic
hazard to those in Table E-6 at similar LD50 values. However, it should
be pointed out that in some cases where LD50, oral values have been deter-
mined on two or more animals, the results vary widely, e.g., by ratios
as great as 50/1. The following data variations cited from Table A-l
illustrate this:
IOC LD50 Values, LD50
Item No. animal Ratio
10 17 rat/3 mus 5.7/1
12 46 rat/7 rbt 6.6/1
16 340 rat/2400 mus 7.1/1
19 54 rat/96 mus 1/1.8
25 3030 rat/200 mus 15/1
37 1300 rat/28 mus 46/1
41 890 rat/75 bdw 12/1

111 2020 rat/242 mus 8.3/1
114 300 rat/6 mus 50/1
160 698 rat/316 mus 2/1
163 2800 rat/1122 mus /I
165 535 rat/3700 mus 1/6.9
30
-------
IOC LD50 Values, LD50
Item No. animal Ratio
173 268 rat/1265 mus 1/4.7
191 1020 rat/400 rbt 2.6/1
265 481 rat/60 mus 8.0/1
309 447 rat/1414 mus 1/3.2
312 891 rat/2462 mus 1/2.8
314 1072 rat/330 mus 3.1/1
340 1860 rat/65 mus 29/1
368 5000 rat/316 nus 15/1
These data variations nay be partly due to differences in response between
animal types, or as above, to test or data evaluation protocol variations.
These data comparisons certainly reinforce the conclusion that rating
schemes must be approached cautiously. They also indicate the need for
additional, more carefully controlled tests to be done on many compounds,
using a common protocol.
Inhalation Toxicity (LC50) (Tables E-9 and E-13)
The inhalation data that are most reasonably grouped together (LC50)
are presented in Tables E-9 and E-13. They are grouped in a roughly ordered
fashion in Table E-9. Due to the variations in test protocols and data
units comparisions must be viewed with caution and some skepticism. These
data in Table E-9 are displayed with the same correlated data that are
in Tables E-7 and E-8. Similar comments apply to their utility except
that the relative ordering presented is probably less likely to be accurate,
as described above, than the data in Tables E-7 and E-8. Nevertheless,
it is clear that some compounds are more toxic than others when inhaled
and the relative toxicity indicated by the rating order is probably a
reasonable approximation of actual toxic hazard.
The number of these compounds (31) is a relatively small percentage
(7.4 percent) of the IOC. It is no doubt an appreciably higher percentage
of the volatile compounds (not accounted) but still surely represents
only a minor fraction of the total. An appreciable number of the compounds
in the table do have production volume data and some emissions data.
These items should be analyzed in detail to determine which ones present
the greatest hazard potential. However, the master list of IOC should
also be reviewed to determine which volatile compounds with no quantitative
inhalation toxicity data are produced in moderate to large volume, or
are potential carcinogens, or have other acute or chronic test data that
indicate they are moderately to highly toxic, or have quantitative emissions
data.
Also, as in the case of the oral LD50 test data, there is an obvious
need for testing using common protocols and data evaluation procedures.
Round robin testing involving several laboratories should probably be
done on selected compounds that are most likely to represent high hazard
potential, using both LC50 and LD50 routes, to determine the reproducibility
31
-------
of these toxic test data and the effects of the different exposure modes.
Mixed Toxicity Data (Table E-10)
The data presented in Table E-10 cover a vide variety of animal type,
administration route, etc. Consequently, these data cannot be rated accord-
ing to relative toxicity. They are, hovever, at least crude indications
of toxicity of high to noderate levels and provide additional compounds
which need further consideration.
s
Production Volume Data
Production volume data are listed in Tables E-ll and E-12. All but 1978
(Table A-l) production volume data are presented in Table E-ll. These
data are ranked according to 1973 production in Table E-12. There are
a total (Table E-ll) of 36 compounds with production levels - 1 billion
Ibs/yr and 102 with production levels ^ 100 nillion Ibs/yr. The production
levels are sttmarized below.
Production Level, Number of
kg/yr (Ibs/yr) Compounds Listed
>. 4.5 x 108 (HO9) 36
4.5 x 107 - 4.5 x 108(108-109) 66
4.5 x 106 - 4.5 x 107(107-108) 52
4.5 x 1(P - 4.5 x 106(106-107) 9
The highest volume products, especially those in the first two categories
(^_ 45 million kg/yr or >_ 100 million Ibs/yr) should be most carefully
reviewed for hazard potential. Even if these compounds are only slightly
toxic, they nay constitute potential hazards because of the greater
opportunity that large quantities eight escape to the environment during
production or use. Consequently, all data available on these compounds
should be reviewed with particular care.
ODP EXTRACTION TABLES
There are 6 ODP extraction tables. These are discussed briefly belov.
>Cany of the consents listed above under the IOC extraction tables also
apply to the ODP extraction tables, where the same data types are presented.
U.S. Occupational Standard (USOS) for
Concentrations in Air — Organic Dyes and
Listed Alphabetically According
to Compound (Table G— 1)
The sane concents apply as for the IOC. Inorganic chenicals are also
listed since these are frequently used in ODP processes in relatively large
amounts under circumstances where greater losses or human exposure potential
day exist. Eovever, further consideration of these inorganics is not pursued
in the present study, as discussed earlier.
32
-------
Human Toxicity Data—Organic Dyes
and Pigments (Table G-2)
There are two recorded deaths, one after ingestion of an ODP intermediate
and one upon intravenous exposure to a dye. The same conments apply as
before, under IOC.
Carcinogens and Suspected Carcinogens-^-
Organic Dyes and Pigments (Table G-3)
The discussion under the IOC extraction Table E-4 is also pertinent
here. There are 5 recognized (human) carcinogens included in Table G-3.
Oral Toxicity (Rat)—Organic Dyes and
Pigments (Tables G-4. G-5. and G-6)
LD50, oral-rat data are covered in these tables. Table E-6 is the
equivalent IOC table. Table G-4 covers ODP raw naterials fron Table B-l,
Table G-5 includes ODP intermediates from Table B-2 and Table G-6 covers the
actual dyes and pignents in Table B-3. There are 5 raw materials, 15 inter-
mediates and no dyes and pignents with LD50 values = 500 mg/kg. (There are
also 45 IOC that are D? raw materials in this category.) Those corapounds
that also have available carcinogenic, teratogenic or nutagenic data or
production volume data are indicated in the tables. As discussed earlier
under Table E-6, those substances with commonality of data may represent
greater potential hazards. Certainly compounds that show high acute toxicity
and also show carcinogenic potenital and/or relatively high production
volumes are likely to pose greater toxic hazards.

SECTION 8
PRIORITIZATION SCHEMES
It is known that some of the compounds in the master tables are toxic
hazards—able or likely to inflict injury or death. If, then, they could
be ranked in some way, it would be possible to start at the top of the
list and work down to some level that is assumed to be safe. This part
of the task is extremely important for it brings the other major objective
of the task into perspective. It is extremely difficult to assess the
treatment and control technology of emissions from all production processes.
However, the assessment would become much more manageable if priority
lists were available and the most hazardous compounds could be subjected
to extensive investigations. Consequently an assessment of the various
factors that might affect toxic hazard potential was undertaken. A number
of factors were identified but no method for utilizing them in actual
rating schemes was developed. This is viewed as a major undertaking that
should be pursued in a separate study. The results of the assessment
are listed at the end of this section for information purposes.
PRIORITY OR RATING LISTS
In the absence of a formula that would allow quantitiative, or even
qualitative, evaluation of all important criteria factors, simplistic
"prioritization" or "rating" schemes were devised based solely on the
principal toxicity (LD50, LC50, carcinogenic TDLo, etc), production volume
and waste product data. These "priority" lists were presented and discussed
in Section 7 above as extraction tables. The extraction tables that can
also be viewed as "priority" lists includes one set of tables which contain
the compounds presented as a function of increasing or decreasing quantita-
ative values of various key data, such as LD50, oral-rat. "Priority rating"
tables of this type include Tables E-2, E-6, E-7, E-8, E-9, and E-12 for
the IOC and Tables G-4, G-5, and G-6 for the ODP. There are also several
extraction tables in which the compounds appear in alphabetical order
since it was not possible to attach an ordinal rating scheme to the data.
However, these tables can still be viewed as "priority" lists, or sets
of compounds that need special consideration as a group, for example those
compounds with carcinogenic data. These "priority" lists include Tables
E-3, E-4, and E-5 for the IOC and Tables G-2 and G-3 for the ODP. Discus-
sions of the reasons for choosing these particular methods of "prioritizing"
or "rating" the chemicals in terms of toxic hazard potential have already
been presented in Section 7.
The "prioritized" lists described above, and in Section 7, provide
a set of tools useful in providing preliminary analysis of the relative
34
-------
toxic hazard posed by a considerable number of the IOC (probably about
50 to 70 percent of the IOC in Table A-l). Table A-l Addendum could be
treated similarly, although time limitations did not allow this on the
present study. The various lists can be compared with one another to
determine commonality. Of course this has already been done to a consider-
able extent in terms of comparing carcinogenic potential and production
volumes with the various acute toxicity data by including correlated data
on single lists (Tables E-5 through E-10 and H-4 through G-6). However
most of the extraction lists show only minor overlap of the IOC, thus
reflecting the manner in which they were constructed (i.e., for the most
part including only compounds which had not been already covered by a
prior selection process on each new table assembled). Consequently the
set of "priority rating " lists (tables) represents a number of different
ranked sets that are each fairly unique in terms of compounds included
but which are sufficiently different in ranking method as to make reordering
into a master list of ranked compounds very difficult. Fusion of the
separate lists into one master list can only be accomplished by assigning
some sort of unifying weighting factors to each data component in each
of the tables. It is not clear at the present time how this can be accom-
plished objectively and accurately. Consequently each of the lists must
be viewed at present as a separate entity. The selection of compounds
for further study cannot yet be done in such a way as to readily and objec-
tively provide a single prioritized set of compounds for action. Neverthe-
less the "priority" lists as a whole do provide a means of selecting several
sets of study candidates, mostly in some approximate order of importance,
to meet such given specific objectives. Once lists of study candidates
have been identified it may be possible, at least in some cases, to develop
a unified list, or a reduced number of lists, through fresh analysis based
on well defined objectives and possibly additional data for background
information.
EPA PRIORITY LISTS
An attempt was made to identify as many EPA priority lists of organic
chemicals as possible. Six (6) lists which resulted form this effort
are included in Appendix F. They were placed between the Appendices for
IOC and ODP "priority" lists for ease of comparison, especially with the
IOC lists. The lists produced are presented in the following tables:
Table F-l. Effluent Guidelines Priority List (IOC - Phase 1)
Table F-2. Effluent Guidelines Priority List (IOC - Phase 2)
Table F-3. Water Quality Planning and Standards Consent
Decree List
Table F-4. Potentially Significant Air Toxicants from the
Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards
(OAQPS)
Table F-6. List of Potentially Hazardous Waste Materials
(reference 18)
35
-------
Table F-7. Spills List of Potentially Hazardous Substances.
Table F-5 is a comparison list showing commonality of compounds on the
present study "priority" lists (Tables E-3 through E-10) and the chief
EPA priority lists of interest (Tables F-l through F-4).
The EPA priority lists are for the most part described adequately
by the table titles. The first 4 lists are considered to be the most
pertinent and will be given special attention. The effluent guidelines
lists (Tables F-l and F-2) are taken from reference 19. Twenty (20) of
the 21 entries in Table F-l and 16 of the 19 entries in Table F-2 are
represented on either Table A-l (IOC), or one of the other master tables,
of this study. Most of these representatives are IOC. The water quality
planning and standards consent decree list (Table F-3) contains 66 individ-
ual entries with all but 3 of them (these 3 are mixed ethers, trichloro-
phenols and chlorinated cresols) specific compounds. Thirteen (13) of
these 66 entries (blanks) are not represented on the present study master
tables. This EPA priority list is the result of the so-called 65 toxic
pollutants (both individual compounds and mixtures of compounds, or general
classes of substances) that resulted from the recent court settlement
(20) between the EPA and several environmental groups concerning implementa-
tion of best available technology (BAT) standards by June 30, 1983. The
fourth EPA priority list (Table F-4) contains 22 entries, only one of
which (a plasticizer) is not on the master tables. Thus these first 4
EPA priority lists are concerned with the IOC, ODP, and related substances
that are presently being considered for effluents and emissions pollution
control studies (e.g., Effluents Guidelines BAT standards and new source
performance standards studies). Overall, commonality with master table
entries (IOC, IOC Addendum and ODP) is very high. Most EPA list entries
not included in the present study are insecticides, herbicides, plasticizers,
etc, i.e., compounds that fall outside the scope of this task.
The last two EPA lists (Tables F-6 and F-7) are additional lists of
potentially hazardous chemicals presented here for use in future studies
of the toxic hazard posed by IOC. Table F-6 covers an earlier list of
potentially hazardous materials developed by Booz-Allen, Inc. for EPA
in 1973 (18). Table F-7 is the EPA spills list of substances potentially
hazardous to the aquatic environment recently published in the Federal
Register (5). Due to time constraints they will not be further discussed
in this report.
COMPARISON OF THIS STUDY "PRIORITY"
LISTS AND EPA PRIORITY LISTS
The first 4 EPA priority lists discussed above (Tables F-l through
F-4) were compared with this study "priority" lists (Tables F-4 through
F-10) for commonality of the IOC. All compounds listed on 5 of 7 "priority"
tables were comparison candidates. However not all the IOC on 2 of the
"priority" lists were candidates. Thus, only compounds with LD50 - 500 mg/kg
(57 items) were covered from Table F-6 and only compounds with LC50 = 1000
ppm or ^ 200 mg/m3 (15 items, 1 through 16, item 13 excluded) were covered
from Table F-9. There are a total of 161 different IOC (38.5 percent
36
-------
of 418 total IOC) meeting this comparison candidate criterion on the 7
tables. The results of the comparison are presented in Table F-5 with
the data displayed to show the occurrence of this study "priority" list
IOC considered to pose a potential toxic hazard, on each of the 4 EPA
priority lists. The addendum IOC (Table A-2), the updated 1979 data and
the OOP were not included in this analysis because of lack of time.
There are a total of 45 compounds (27.9 percent of the 161 candidates)
common to the 4 EPA lists. The occurrence of an IOC compound on one of the
EPA lists is indicated by an X, 2X or 3X with the numerals referring to the
number of present study "priority" lists containing the IOC compound. Thirty
(30) IOC (item numbers 3, 17, 30, 39, 86, 101, 227, 243, 265, 284, 311, etc.)
show multiple commonality on the EPA priority lists, with all but 2 of them
(243 and 284) also showing multiple commonality on present study "priority"
lists. The 28 IOC showing multiple commonality on both sets of lists should
be given close consideration for further studies.
An accounting of the IOC appearing on the EPA lists shows the following:
Number of These
Total IOC IOC on Present Percent
Entries Study "Priority" List Commonality
Table F-l 25 14 55
Table F-2 21 11 52
Table F-3 62 21 34
Table F-4 22 14 64
This tabulation shows the number of the IOC which are on one or more the
7 "priority" lists that also appear on the EPA priority lists (Tables
F-l through F-4), in comparison to the total number of IOC on each EPA
list (commonality of EPA priority lists with present study master tables).
The degree of commonality ranges from 34 percent for the Consent Decree
list to a relatively high 64 percent for the OAQPS priority list. Presumably
those IOC common to both sets of lists are worthy of closer scruting in
terms of setting priorities on which compounds should be emphasized in
future effluent or emissions studies, with the compounds showing multiple
commonality as described above receiving the greatest emphasis. Of course,
there are also compounds on the "priority" lists developed on this study
which are not on the EPA priority lists that are probably equally good
candidates for early studies (cf Sections 7 and 8 discussions). Further
analysis, beyond that possible on the present task, will be required to pro-
perly set future study priorities. IOC addendum compounds are not included.
COMPARISON OF U.S. OCCUPATIONAL STANDARDS
(USDS) WITH USSR WORKPLACE STANDARDS
Workplace standards have been established by the Soviet government
(21) for 457 chemical substances. These standards are the Soviet equivalent
of our USOS. They are reproduced in Appendix H, (Table H-2). These values
may be of special interest since there is some indication that they were
determined by the experimental use of human volunteers. This is based
37
-------
on a private communication from NIOSH (21) and is partially substantiated
by an attachment to a copy of the original Russian article, which was
hand carried to the United States by a former NIOSH employee. The attach-
ment, although not part of the article, refers to principles and procedures
for developing data for industrial air limits from human subject.
Efforts to determine whether human testing was in fact used to establish
the Soviet standards should continue for two reasons. Firstly, these
standards are set at lower exposure levels than the U.S. equivalents in
78 of 84 total comparisons, usually by substantial amounts (Table H-l).
Consequently the Soviet standards may be leading indicators concerning
which of our USOS are candidates for lower exposure level standards.
Secondly, if the Soviet standards were actually established by controlled
human testing, they may represent some of the best toxic hazard data avail-
able, concerning a large set of organic compounds, that were determined
using a common well controlled test protocol. Furthermore they should
represent realistic human exposure levels for avoidance of acute toxicity
effects (chronic effects are very likely not accounted for).
PRELIMINARY ATTEMPTS TO ESTABLISH
RATING CRITERIA
The information most pertinent for evaluating the hazard of each IOC
is, of course, the toxicity data. However, the amount of IOC produced
must also be considered as well as the use that is to be made of the chem-
ical. For if only limited amounts of a very toxic chemical are produced,
the hazard to the population might be much less than a moderately toxic
chemical produced on a large scale. The same applies to the uses to which
a chemical is put. If the use of a moderately toxic substance is such
that a large number of people will be exposed to it, this is much worse
than even a highly toxic compound that is, for example, used entirely
captively or is completely consumed as an intermediate and not an end
product. For example much HCN and acetone cyanohydrin production meets
these criteria (i.e., used captively) and will constitute a problem only
if there are losses occurring during production.
Toxicity Data Pitfalls
The gathering of data is not always a straightforward process, especially
when it is necessary to use secondary sources because of time constraints.
The use of secondary sources introduces the possibilities of inaccurate
recording and in some cases even two closely related secondary sources
do not agree on the information contained in a primary source. This can
be best demonstrated with a concrete example. Thus reference 2 (1975)
gives the following entry under acetamide:
TXDS:orl-rat TDLo: 456 gm/kg/52WC TFX:CAR from
reference TXAPA9 14,163,69.
However, reference 8 gives the following entry under acetamide:
38
-------
TXDS:orl-rat TDLo: 360 mg/kg/52W TFX:CAR from
reference TXAPA9 14,163,69; the same reference
as above.
The question arises as to which one is correct, since they are obviously
not equivalent doses.
The reference used in the above examples (23) was consulted and it
was found that neither of the indicated doses could be directly confirmed.
The dose was indicated in the following way: ". . .administration of
2.5% acetamide in the diet of rats for 12 months led to malignant liver
tumors after 12-15 months of observation in approximately 50% of the animals
at risk." There is no place in the article that describes how-much acetamide
"2.5% acetamide in the diet" is. All doses are given in percentage of
the diet and the amount of diet consumed by the rats is not indicated.
It was then determined that when animal food intake is not specified,
it is assumed by NIOSH (reference 2, page xxi) that rats eat 15 gm/day.
Based on this assumption and the average weight of the rats over the 52
week study period it can be calculated that 456 gm/kg is the approximate
amount of acetamide administered. Thus the datum reported in reference
2 is correct but the datum in reference 8 is grossly inaccurate, indicating
that acetamide is a potent hepatic carcinogen in the rat while in fact
being a very weak carcinogen.
Data Unavailability
Inaccurate data may be worse than no data, but there is much information
that is given in an incomplete form or not available at all. For example,
total production figures for many important compounds are not available.
Some of these numbers are considered proprietary, others have never been
sought, and still others are available only for certain years. The problems
with toxicity data are even greater. LD-50 data for oral toxicity in
rats are available for approximately 50 percent of the compounds in Table
A-l, and this is the most abundant single kind of toxicity data available.
The gaps are enormous. It may be that some very hazardous compounds have
never been tested.
Some of the toxicity data is subjective or descriptive rather than
quantitative. This information can be valuable, but comparisons among
different compounds are very difficult with this kind of information.
Tentative Criteria for Use in the
Identification and Priority Listing
of Hazardous Industrial Organic Chemicals—
The problems mentioned above have a direct bearing on the identification
of hazardous compounds. It is necessary to identify which criteria will
be used to determine if a compound is hazardous. It is also necessary
to establish if one criterion is more important than another.
Various criteria are listed below that might be considered for use
in the identification and priority listing of hazardous industrial organic
chemicals. These tentative criteria are the result of consideration of
39

several sources of discussions of toxicity data (16) or the potential
toxic hazards posed by chemicals (24-27).

Admittedly, all of this information is probably not available for
even one compound; but even if it were, the task of identifying hazardous
industrial organic chemicals would still exist. The task ahead then is
to determine which are the most important criteria, whether the criteria
will give a yes-no answer, and at what level a substance will be considered
hazardous where quantitative data are involved.
Because of the limited amount of data available for any given industrial
organic chemical and the poor overlap of different types of data, and
the difficult, time-consuming nature of this subtask, it was not possible
to choose criteria and set arbitary cutoff values. Further analysis of
this problem and the type of information available may provide some criteria
in future studies.

SECTION 9
POLLUTION CONTROL TECHNOLOGY
Published EPA studies are concerned with control of effluents or emis-
sions in a general way, with little information available on control of
specific compounds. The few exceptions concern some studies on emissions
from specific processes (described below). Because of the numerous products/
processes involved in the IOC/ODP industries, only a general survey of
control technologies was possible. Effluent controls are discussed first,
followed by emissions control technology.
EFFLUENT POLLUTION CONTROL TECHNOLOGY
Effluent waste treatment for industrial organic chemical processes
can be conceptually divided into three phases: primary, secondary, and
tertiary (28).
In primary treatment simple separation procedures include the following:
(1) Screening
(2) Equalization or neutralization
(3) Oil separation
(4) Flotation or flocculation.
Then the sedimentation of dissolved or particulate waterborne wastes
can be accomplished by secondary treatments such as the following:
(1) Activated sludge
(2) Extended aeration
(3) Trickling filters
(4) Aerated lagoons
(5) Waste stabilization ponds
(6) Chemical or thermal oxidation.
These treatments convert organic wastes to inactive sediments and waste
streams which are innocuous via biological or chemical conversion.
Tertiary treatments can be applied to remove refractory contaminants.
These include such treatments as:
(1) Ammonia stripping
(2) Coagulation and precipitation
(3) Filtration and microscreening
(4) Carbon absorption
43
-------
(5) Disinfection
(6) Electrodialysis
(7) Ion exchange
(8) Reverse osmosis
(9) Evaporation.
Sludges produced from these treatment processes can be treated in a number
of ways. However, the treatments generally include the following:
(1) Aerobic stabilization
(2) Anaerobic digestion
(3) Lagooning
(4) Heat treatment.
Also generally usable are dewatering processes such as filter presses, vacuum
filters, centrifuges or sand-drying beds.
The most complete assessment of effluent control technologies is contain-
ed in a recent report (19) done for the National Commission on Water Quality.
The best current technologies for treatment of effluents are summarized
as follows:
Activated carbon adsorption
Activated carbon regeneration
Activated sludge
Aerated lagoon
Aeration, biological processes
Aerobic digestion
Clarification
Dissolved air flotation
Equalization/surge storage
Filtration, dual media
Neutralization
Oil separation
Ozonation
Precipitation, coagulation and flocculation
Thickening
Trickle filtration
Vacuum filtration.
Details of the characteristics and efficiencies of these technologies
are given in that report, Appendix A, pages A-l through A-29. Applicability
and efficiencies of organic pollutant removal vary widely depending on
the chemical/process in question. Thus it is very difficult to specify
"best" technologies. However activated sludge and carbon absorption proces-
ses appear to be especially attractive and useful technologies.
AIR POLLUTION CONTROL TECHNOLOGY
As early as 1967 reasonably adequate basic air pollution control technol-
ogy was available to the industrial organic chemical industry. Hearings
before the Subcommittee on Air and Water Pollution of the Committee on
44
-------
Public Works, March 15-18, 1967, delineated the following general controls
technologies:
(1) Incinerators - flame and catalytic
(2) Condensation units
(3) Absorption
(4) Tight systems.
The Houdry Division of Air Products and Chemicals Inc. and Monsanto
Research Corporation have done the most in depth studies of atmospheric
(air) emissions from the petrochemical industry, Houdry under EPA Contract
No. 68-02-0255 and Monsanto Research Corporation under Contract No's.
68-02-1320 (Task 17) and 68-02-1874. Issued reports in the Houdry series
include a four volume survey of the industry (29-32) and a six volume
series (33-38) pinpointing selected high volume organics. The four volume
series of reports surveyed 33 distinctly different processes used to produce
27 different petrochemicals chosen, according to the authors, from more
than 200 petrochemicals currently in production in the United States.
Many of these products are produced by two or more processes that are
substantially different with respect to process techniques and source
of air emissions. Excluding the polymers studied, the following list
of petrochemicals was included in the study.

403 Vinyl acetate (2 processes)
404 Vinyl chloride
This list includes 23 chemicals, if "oxo" alcohols and adehydes are consider-
ed as one, or 29 chemicals using the indicated list of 5 "oxo" alcohols
and 2 "oxo" aldehydes, and 32 processes.
A summary listing of pollution control devices found to be used in
these very representative processes included the following:
(1) Incinerators (thermal and catalytic)
(2) Flares
(3) Scrubbers (water or organic liquid absorbent)
(4) Bag filters (bag houses)
(5) Cyclones
(6) Electrostatic precipitators.
With the addition of solid adsorption (e.g., charcoal) techniques, these
pollution control technologies, although relatively few and inherently
rather simple in concept, may be adaptable to control many of the air
pollution problems in the industrial organic chemicals industry, when
properly designed and utilized. It should be noted that these control
technologies are generally utilized as add-on controls. Better results
might be realized from in-process modifications, where applicable, or
from combinations of in-process changes plus add-on controls.
The Monsanto Source Assessment study (EPA Contract 68-02-1874) resulted
in emissions data on at least 85 IOC. These data have been incorporated
in the Organic Chemical Producers Data Base Program (12) by Radian Corpora-
tion and have also been included in Table A-l. Assessment of control
technologies used in the processes represented by these emissions data
is not available at this time.
It may be more appropriate to summarize the add-on control methods
which may be applicable to the vapor and liquid-phase (droplets) air emis-
sions associated with the synthetic organic chemicals industry differently
as follows:
(1) Incineration
(2) Adsorption on solids
(3) Absorption by liquids
(4) Condensation (vapors only)
(5) Other methods.
Incineration
Incineration has been widely used to control hydrocarbon emissions.
Three types of combustion are used in incinerators: flame combustion,
46
-------
thermal combustion, and catalytic combustion. In all cases, an auxiliary
fuel must be added to support the combustion when dilute gas streams are
involved. A special type of incinerator is the waste heat boiler, in
which the heat from the combustion is used to generate steam.
Adsorption
Adsorption of vapors or droplets onto a solid such as activated char-
coal or a molecular sieve is an attractive emission control method because
it permits recovery of the vapors and thus allows for by-product credits.
Absorption
Absorption of vapors or droplets by a liquid reagent is a possible
control method. The scrubber effluent has to be treated to separate the
liquid reagent, which should be recycled, from the recovered compound
in order to avoid secondary pollution problems.
Condensation
Condensation of the vapors by a cooling water condenser and/or refrigera-
tion may be possible, at least as a first stage method, for some of the
more concentrated effluent gas streams.
These control methods are designed primarily for volatile organic
compounds, but some processes may emit liquid mist or solid particulates
of rather high vapor pressure (e.g., naphthalene). The add-on control
methods which may be applicable to the liquid- and solid-phase (particulates)
air emissions associated with the organic chemicals industry include the
following types of equipment:
(1) Inertial separators
(2) Wet collection devices
(3) Baghouses
(4) Electrostatic precipitators
(5) Other collection devices.
Inertial Separators
Inertial separators are the most widely used devices for collecting
medium- and coarse-sized particulates. They operate by the principle
of imparting centrigual force to the particle to be removed from the carrier
gas stream by directing the gas in a circular path or effecting an abrupt
change in direction. Inertial separators include cyclones and mechanical
centrifugal devices.
Wet Collection Devices
Wet collection devices use a variety of methods to wet the contaminant
particles in order to remove them from the gas stream. The particles
are removed by contact with a liquid droplet or by impingement of wetted
or unwetted particles on collecting surfaces followed by their removal
47
-------
from the surfaces by flushing with a liquid. Types of wet collection
devices include venturi scrubbers, mechanical scrubbers, cyclone-type
scrubbers, and orifice-type scrubbers.
Baghouses
When high collection efficiency on small particle size is required,
the most widely used method consists of separating the dust from the carrier
gas by means of a fabric filter. The fabric is usually made into bags
of tubular or envelope shape, and the entire structure housing the bags
is called a baghouse.
Electrostatic Precipitators
The electrostatic precipitator design is based on passing a dust-laden
gas stream through a highly charged electrostatic field which then charges
the dust or smoke and causes agglomeration and precipitation of the accumula-
ted particles.
Other Collection Devices
Other particulate-collecting devices with limited application include
settling chambers, impingement separators, and panel filters. Settling
chambers collect particles with a sufficiently high settling velocity
by the action of gravity forces. Impingement separators are usually used
to collect mists by inertial impaction. Panel filters, similar to those
used in home furnaces, have several important industrial applications
including the collection of overspray from paint-spraying operations.
As an example of matching process groups and control approaches for
the purpose of identifying specific emission control methods, the advantages
and disadvantages of major hydrocarbon control processes are summarized

SECTION 10
ORGANIC DYES AND PIGMENTS INDUSTRY
BACKGROUND
No reliable statistics were found on the manufacturing capacities
of any of the companies in the U.S. organic dyes and pigments industry.
However in 1973, 23 of these companies were listed as making only dyes,
10 were listed as making only pigments and 19 were listed as making both
dyes and pigments (15).
INDUSTRY CHARACTERISTICS
The manufacture of dyes and pigments is characterized by the use of
a great variety of batch reactions and a wide spectrum of both inorganic
and organic materials. The starting materials are usually relatively
low molecular weight materials which are built up in the processing to
higher molecular weight substances.
Most manufacturers of organic dyes and pigments make a large number
of individual products. The demands for individual products may be quite
disparate, with the result that a batch of one product might be made only
once a week, but batches of another product enjoying a large demand might
be made every day. Large inventories of dyes and pigments cannot be econ-
omically justified because of the high unit value placed on these substances.
Thus, in 1974, the average unit value of all organic dyes and pigments
manufactured in the U.S. was $2.44 per pound (10). Consequently the waste
effluents from the manufacture of organic dyes and pigments vary greatly
in composition on a daily basis. This unavoidable variation creates diffi-
cult technical problems especially in coping with the wastewater from
dyes and/or pigments plants, and sometimes in dealing with gaseous emissions
as well.
HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES
All the chemicals used as starting materials to make dyes and pigments
are listed in Tables A-l, B-l, and B-2 together with correlated toxicity,
production process, and a limited amount of waste stream data. Some of
these chemicals show high acute or chronic toxicity. Attention should
in particular be given to all ODP substances which are either known to
be carcinogenic or which are suspected of being carcinogenic. Also of
special note are highly toxic heavy metals (especially lead and mercury)
which are often associated with dye and pigment production. These should
50
-------
be rigorously excluded from the effluents. Other less toxic heavy metals
such as nickel, must be held within established safe limits. Among the
organic starting materials the following substances should be given atten-
tion as potentially hazardous materials: acenaphthene, acrylonitrile,
aniline, benzene, chlorinated hydrocarbons, chlorinated phenols, nitrobenzes,
nitrotoluenes, nitrophenols, amines (both aromatic and aliphatic), and
j>-toluenesulfonic acid.
The lists of dye intermediates and dyes (Tables B-2 and B-3 respective-
ly) are very extensive. Very little toxicity data is available on these
substances, hence it will be presumed that the following types of chemicals
are likely to be hazardous:
• all amino compounds
• nitro-substituted compounds, especially those with
one or more solubilizing groups such as -SO^H or -OH
• all chlorinated compounds, especially those with
solubilizing groups such as -SO^H or -OH.
POLLUTION CONTROLS
Battelle interviewed three industry sources to determine industry's
perception of the hazards associated with effluent materials from the
manufacture of dyes and pigments. This brief survey indicated that the
industry feels it can satisfactorily cope with its pollution problems
using existing technology, although some increase in both operating and
capital costs will be necessary. No attempt at independent corroboration
of this was made because of time constraints.
Careful attention must be given to the regulation of process conditions
to avoid accidental emissions of noxious gases such as sulfur dioxide
and nitrogen oxide. Personnel must be carefully trained, well-instructed
and properly supervised in this connection. When it is necessary to use
highly toxic substances such as lead or mercury, the liquid waste effluents
must be collected separately for special treatment to prevent contamination
of large volumes of aqueous effluents. Thus, one industry source advised
Battelle that mercury was still required in some of their processes, but
that all the liquid wastes from such processes were segregated, the mercury
completely recovered by a proprietary system and recycled to the processes.
Emissions Controls
\
One industry source indicated that it feels that virtually all gas
and vapor emissions from the manufacture of dyes and pigments can be effec-
tively controlled by use of appropriate control equipment such as absorbers,
scrubbers, mist eliminators, and filters for the gas streams involved.
This industry source informed Battelle that all equipment which would
result in gas and vapor emissions had been routinely purchased with the
necessary pollution control devices as an integral part of the process
equipment itself. No one type of scrubber or filter will serve for all
51
-------
gas and vapor emission problems; hence each piece of process equipment
must have an individual pollution control device specifically designed
to cope with the problem entailed by that piece of process equipment.
However not all companies making dyes and pigments have installed
this type of equipment. Consequently significant emissions of nitrogen
oxides, halogen (chlorine and bromine) fumes, volatile organics, and dusts
still are associated with many processes.
Effluent Controls
One industry source indicated that his company believes that most
wastewater effluent hazards can be effectively controlled (except for
the highly toxic heavy metals) by a central treatment facility. An advanced,
proprietary water treatment system now being tested in full scale operation
at a plant manufacturing disperse dyes has been described to Battelle
as being very promising. The system involved differs from that used ordi-
narily in respect to the employment of carbon absorption beds for primary
treatment of the effluent from the plant first enters a large holding
reservoir which serves as an "equalization" basin. This reservoir holds
a volume of effluent corresponding to about 1.5 days throughout. It serves
to even out surges in the varying composition of the plant effluent.
The highly acidic effluent (containing mainly sulfuric acid as the mineral
acid component) is neutralized with lime. The precipitated calcium sulfate,
together with certain heavy metal compounds and some insoluble salts of
organic acids is removed in clarifiers. The clear liquid passes then
through beds of activated carbon which absorb all colored materials and
many polar, high molecular weight organic chemicals as well. The effluent
waste has the characteristics, on the average, shown below.
CHARACTERISTICS OF LIQUIED EFFLUENT
FROM CARBON TREATMENT SYSTEMS
Characteristic Content, ppm
Biological oxygen demand (BOD) 350
Chemical oxygen demand (COD) 1,000
Iron 10
Nickel 1
Copper 2
Lead 1
Zinc 1
The effluent is further treated in the secondary system (activated sludge)
of a municipal sewage disposal plant.
The activated carbon beds are periodically regenerated in a furnace.
Stack gases from the furnace are passed through an afterburner and the
effluent gases scrubbed with water. The scrubbings are passed into the
equalization basin and treated along with plant wastewater.
The solid wastes (mainly calcium sulfate and some heavy metal compounds)
52
-------
are disposed of by landfill. Ideally, the calcium sulfate sludge should
be efficiently de-watered in high pressure hydraulic filters and sent
to a landfill lined with an impermeable (plastic) membrane. Such a landfill
should also be equipped with a system for removal and treatment of leachate
from the pit (owing to the intrusion of rainwater) to insure that there
will be no "secondary" environmental pollution by leaching of this solid
waste.
A further environmental pollution problem in the manufacture of dyes
with a significant solubility in water is much more difficult to deal
with. Such dyes must be precipitated from solution by "salting out".
This manufacturing step requires that large amounts of sodium chloride
be added to the finished dye in the reactor to precipitate it from solution.
The effluent from plants making such products therefore contains large
amounts of salt and much larger amounts of colored substances (i.e., dyes)
than are encountered in effluents from plants making organic pigments,
vat and disperse dyes. Such plants should always be located near the
ocean to avoid contamination of fresh water resources (rivers and lakes)
with salt.
One other approach to the control of hazardous organic materials in
wastewater effluents could be considered. This is the Zimmerman (Zimpro)
process, which is used by some municipal sewage disposal plants for sludge
disposal. The process depends on the fact that any organic compound can
be oxidized, even in aqueous solution, if the solution is heated to a
sufficiently high temperature (7, p 112). However such an application
of the Zimpro process might be prohibitively expensive because of the
low concentration or organic materials (1000 ppm) and the corrosive nature
of the inorganic materials present.

SECTION 11
CONCLUSIONS
The following conclusions are warranted based on an analysis of the
central data compilations and the data extraction lists produced in this
study:
(1) A unique data base useful in the assessment
of the toxic hazard potential of industrial
organic chemicals (IOC) and organic dyes and
pigments (ODP) has been assembled.
(2) The basic compilations, which are master tables
of toxicity, production process, waste products,
production volume and end use data on 418 IOC,
115 ODP raw materials, 722 ODP intermediates, and
1458 actual dyes and pigments (Tables A-l, B-l,
B-2, B-3, and B-3 Addendum, meet an urgent EPA
need for convenient, single source availability
of detailed correlated data for identifying and
selecting groups of compounds for new source
performance standards studies, effluent guidelines
studies and the like. Also an additional 92 IOC
are presented in Table A-2 (IOC Addendum) with
some correlated toxicity and production volume
data but these addendum IOC were not further
analyzed due to time constraints and therefore
are not represented in the following conclusions
concerning the IOC.
(3) Eighteen extraction tables were assembled based
on various simple lists of toxicity data and
production volume data. These may be viewed as
"priority" lists of compounds that should be given
special attention as candidate groups for further
study.
(4) Six IOC extraction tables (Tables E-2, E-6, E-7,
E-8, E-9, and E-12) and three ODP extraction tables
(Tables G-4, G-5, and G-6) were assembled with
the chemicals presented in order of quantitative
toxicity or production volume data. These can be
considered approximate "priority rating" lists.
54
-------
(5) Six IOC extraction tables (Tables E-l, E-3, E-5,
E-10, and E-ll) and three OOP extraction tables
(Tables G-l, G-2, and G-3) were assembled with
the chemicals listed alphabetically. These can
be considered "priority" groups or lists.
(6) Use of the 18 "priority rating" and "priority"
lists to identify the chemicals that pose the
greatest potential hazard must be approached with
great care since the randomly collected data upon
which the lists are based are essentially non-
standard protocol data of unknown accuracy. Be-
cause of this, consolidation of the lists into one
master "priority rating" list is not possible
although one "priority" grouping of all compounds
could be assembled.
(7) Four of six EPA priority lists obtained on this
study (Tables F-l through F-4) were considered of
primary importance and were compared with eight
of the IOC "priority rating" or "priority" lists
(Tables E-3 through E-10). The 45 IOC common to
the two sets of tables (Table F-5) constitutes a
selected group of chemicals for possible further
study, with 28 chemicals which show multiple
commonality (text page 41) of possible special
significance.
(8) More than 100 additional IOC which are not on the
four EPA lists but are on the present study "priority"
rating" or "priority" lists may be equally good can-
didates for further studies.
(9) Although quantitative toxicity data are available
on 80 percent of the IOC, the most prevalent
reasonably uniform test protocol data (59 percent
of the IOC) that can be listed in order of decreas-
ing toxicity (Table F-6) are LD50, oral-rat. Sixty-
four (15 percent of 418 IOC) of the IOC on this
list of 245 compounds constitute potential toxic
hazards (LD50 ^ 500 mg/kg).
(10) LD50, oral-animal other than rat data are also
available (Table E-7) on another 130 of the IOC,
with 16 of these IOC showing LD50, oral data
< 500 mg/kg on compounds with no LD50 - 500 mg/kg.
This constitutes a ground total of 87 IOC (21
percent of 418) with LD50, oral data ^ 500 mg/kg.
(11) Inhalation data (LC50, any animal and test protocol,
Table E-9) are available on 31 IOC (7.4 percent of
418) with 18 of these compounds (4.3 percent) posing a
55
-------
potential toxic hazard (LC50 ^ 1000 ppm or 200 mg/m3).
(12) Quantitative toxicity data are available on only
16 percent of the ODP intermediates and 3 percent
of the dyes and pigments. Consequently the few
compounds identified on the ODP "priority" lists
must represent a very incomplete set of potential
toxic hazards.
(13) The important lists of compounds with animal test
data indicating that they are carcinogens (Tables
E-4 and G-3) or mutagens or teratogens (Table E-5)
are presented in alphabetical order due to the great
variation in test protocols used to obtain the data.
Nevertheless there are some compounds on these lists
that are of greater concern than the rest, including
about 29 compounds that are either known human car-
cinogens, relatively potent test carcinogens (animals)
or are both carcinogens and mutagens or teratogens.
(14) Production volume data are available on 163 IOC
(39 percent of 418 IOC, Table E-ll), with quantitative
toxicity data available on 143, or 90 percent, of
these. This is a very high degree of commonality.
(15) The 102 highest production volume IOC (^ 100 x 106
Ibs/yr) should be given special attention, particular-
ly if they are on one of the toxicity "priority" lists.
IOC products with no production volume data (61 per-
cent of 418 IOC) or those few with moderate to high
production volumes but no toxicity data, are can-
didates for additional data searches or toxicity
testing.
(16) Production volumes are available on fewer ODP
products (20 percent) than on the IOC, with the
number of correlated production volume and toxicity
data very few (25 items, 1.5 percent, 16 percent
commonality).
(17) Quantitative waste product data of uncertain reliability
are available on 119 (28.4 percent) of the 418 IOC
(none on the ODP), including effluent data on 3.8
percent and emissions data on 24.6 percent.
(18) Ninety-five of the IOC (23 percent) have quantita-
tive end use pattern data, with most of these (about
90 percent commonality) showing quantitative toxicity
data.
(19) Definitive criteria for rating toxic hazard
potential could not be established but work
56
-------
should continue on this important task.
(20) A state of the art assessment of pollution
control and waste treatment technology led to
a determination that most of the published
information on these technologies is of a
general nature. Due to wide variations in
production process technology and in the
applicabilities and efficiencies of different
techniques for controlling organic effluents
or emissions, it was not possible to specify
"best" technologies on the present study, given
the broad scope of the program and the time and
funding available for the task.
(21) Because of the complexity of these industries
and the present state of toxicological data
availability and understanding, this study should
be viewed as a beginning effort.

SECTION 12
RECOMMENDATIONS
An extensive analysis of the master tables of coordinated, comprehen-
sive data on industrial organic chemicals (IOC) and organic dyes and pig-
ments (ODP) and the eighteen tables of extracted data produced using this
data base has been carried out. In addition to the results and conclusions
summarized in Sections 1 and 11, a number of areas were identified where
additional analysis of the presently available data would be fruitful and
where new information of potentially great value should be sought. These
areas are summarized in the following outline:
FUTURE WORK OUTLINE
1. Computer Storage of Data (Computer Program)
2. Expand Data Base
(a) Compounds included
(b) Identifying symbols (WLN, Chemical Abstracts)
(c) Toxicity data additions - especially common protocol
(1) Acute
(2) Chronic
(d) Process information
(1) Update present data
(2) Process information on new compound additions
(e) Waste products - quantitative data on specific compounds
(f) Production volumes
(g) Quantitative end use patterns
3. Continue Examination of Present Data Base to Identify New Extrac-
tion Modes
4. Continue Comparison of Various Extraction or "Priority" Lists
(a) Determine commonality of key data
(b) Construct more complex comparison lists
(1) Most toxic compounds - acute toxicity data
(2) Most toxic compounds - chronic toxicity data
58
-------
(3) Highest production volumes
(4) Quantitative waste product data
5. Continue Attempts to Identify the Most Important Criteria for
Determining Toxic Hazard Potential
(a) Continue analysis of the potential criteria outlined in
Section 8
(b) Evaluate the Ames Bioassay Method
(c) Determine whether potentially important criteria have
been overlooked
6. Continue Search for Pollution Control Technology and Equipment
(a) Emphasize specific compound/process technology
(b) General technology advances.
The value of the present data base can be improved by establishing
a computer program that would provide rapid access to data on the IOC
and OOP with a format that would facilitate data comparisions and allow
new data compilation arrangements to be readily assembled for manual
study. The Radian computer program (12) developed to accommodate IOC
should be amenable to modification to include the new data and IOC con-
tained in the present study. A similar program could be developed to
accommodate the OOP entries. The use of the WLN symbols would allow
searches or data compilations keyed to specific chemical structures to be
accomplished readily. These computer bases would allow more facile com-
parisons of the present "priority rating", "priority" group and EPA priority
lists, to identify commonality. Also compilation of new and more extensive
or data inclusive "priority" lists would be accomplished more readily and
efficiently. These could include:
• Compounds listed according to decreasing production
volume correlated with various specific toxicity data
• Compounds listed in order of toxicity data not yet
specifically analyzed (e.g., LD50, animal data
obtained by administering the chemical by routes
other than oral or inhalation)
• Compounds listed in order of total organics emissions
(quantitative data)
• More extensive compilations incorporating multiple data
types
More work needs to be done to insure that all the important data
outlined above are obtained. Potentially important sources of this
information were not utilized on the present study because of time and
funding constraints. These include the following:
59
-------
• Producing companies
- Product brochures
- Annual reports
- Personal contacts
• Industry organizations
- Published reports
- Personal contacts
• Primary literature (computer searches of abstract services)
- Chemical Abstracts
- Index Medicus
- Predicasts.
Collection of information by these routes would no doubt be time consuming
but they might provide significant amounts of new and important data. Some
preliminary work using a few selected search subjects should establish the
value of these approaches.
Some additional process data which could be incorporated into the pre-
sent study are already available in reference 12.
Even without the developmment of a computer program for storage and
retrieval of the data base developed on this study, further analysis of the
present data is possible. Thus new lists such as those outlined above
under computer studies could be manually prepared and used. These efforts
would become even more important if new data were obtained by the methods
outlined above and added to the data base. Comparison of the newer "priority"
lists with each other and with the already available lists should provide
further identification of compounds with the greatest toxic hazard potential.
Of course efforts to identify the most important criteria for evalua-
ting toxic hazard potential should be continued. Also further searches
for and assessment of pollution control equipment and technology needs to
be carried out.
