Environmental Project, 941 – Substance flow analysis of 4-nitrotoluen

Substance Flow Analysis of 4-nitrotoluene

Summary and conclusions

The current report presents an investigation of the flow of 4-nitrotoluene in Denmark.

The objective of this investigation was to find possible sources and flows of 4-nitrotoluene in Denmark. The knowledge presented is based on all available statistical sources in Denmark and a spot check among chemical and paint/pigment manufacturing companies in Denmark.

The project only found an insignificant consumption of 4-nitrotoluene in Denmark. The only consumption identified is 250 grams used for research by a pharmaceutical company.

It can be concluded that 4-nitrotoluene is unlikely to be present in significant amounts in Denmark, neither as raw material nor as part of imported products.
