Although chloroanilines are considered as black list compounds and priority pollutants, information necessary for risk assessment is rather scarce. There are no standards or guidelines in the Netherlands. Data on the amount of chloroaniline production in the Netherlands are also lacking, whereas information on potential emission sources is only available qualitatively. Possible causes for emissions are indicated (mainly to surface water and possibly to soil) for monochloroanilines (MCAs) and dichloroanilines (DCAs); sources of other chloroanilines are not known. Similarly data on the occurence of chloroanilines in the environment in the Netherlands are available for MCAs and DCAs in surface water. In spite of the limited information one may assume that the risks resulting from the present and future environmental concentrations of chloroanilines for humans and ecosystems are likely acceptable.
