P-Chloroaniline (PCA) has historically been used in the manufacture of dyes, pigments and other industrial chemicals. PCA is a carcinogenic amine that can be released from certain restricted dyes by reductive azo cleavage. It can also be present as a very low level contaminant in non-restricted dyes that do not release it via reductive azo cleavage. Deliberate use of PCA or dyes that are known to release PCA is not permitted and there is a limit in the ZDHC MRSL of 150 ppm. However, the use of conformant formulations with PCA below this limit value may occasionally result in PCA detections in untreated effluent, particularly where a facility has dyed a large number of black or dark shades over a relatively short period of time. If PCA is detected in wastewater and it is confirmed that the dye inventory is ZDHC MRSL conformant, it is advisable to liaise with dye suppliers to seek the lowest PCA content or PCA-free option for dyes such as reactive Black 5, which are used in large quantities and can be the source of PCA.
