Relevant studies were identified from a literature search. In a study from 1933, 2,2'-dichlorodiethyl ether in concentrations of 100 ml/m<sup>3</sup> and above showed irritating effects in humans. At 35 ml/m<sup>3</sup> a clearly perceptible unpleasant odour was described and this concentration was irritating in guinea pigs. Reduced body weight gain was observed in rats in a chronic feeding study. This effect was more pronounced in female animals. In a combined repeated dose toxicity study screening also for reproduction/developmental toxicity in rats, the NOAEL for systemic effects was 15 mg/kg body weight and day, the highest dose tested. On this basis, the MAK value has been set at 0.5 ml/m<sup>3</sup>. As the critical effect of 2,2'-dichlorodiethyl ether is systemic, Peak Limitation Category II has been assigned with an excursion factor of 2. As substances with a higher irritation potency like monochloroacetic acid and 2-chloroethanol have similar or higher MAK values, the MAK value for 2,2'-dichlorodiethyl ether will also protect from irritation. Limited data show no genotoxic or carcinogenic potential for 2,2'-dichlorodiethyl ether. In a screening study, the NOAEL for perinatal toxicity in rats was 15 mg/kg body weight and day. As teratogenicity was not investigated, 2,2'-dichlorodiethyl ether has been assigned to Pregnancy Risk Group D. 2,2'-Dichlorodiethyl ether is not a skin sensitizer in a Local Lymph Node Assay in mice. According to skin absorption models, 2,2'-dichlorodiethyl ether is expected to be taken up via the skin in toxicologically relevant amounts. Therefore, 2,2'-dichlorodiethyl ether remains designated with \"H\".</p>","PeriodicalId":521214,"journal":{"name":"The MAK collection for occupational health and safety","volume":"11 2","pages":"Doc030"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13510810/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148836156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a potent inducer of methaemoglobin formation, the hazards regarding its acute toxicity surpass the carcinogenic potential. Hence, several accidents with a consecutive cyanosis are reported. Besides the methaemoglobin level, two other, more specific biomarkers are known: p-chloroaniline set free from the haemoglobin adduct and p-chloroaniline in urine. p-Chloroaniline after hydrolysis represents the sum of all <i>N</i>-conjugated phase II metabolites which are then back-converted to their mother compound. Based on studies of the general population, a BAR of 1 µg p-chloroaniline (after hydrolysis)/l urine has been derived.
