1,2-DIAMINO-4-NITROBENZENE
VOL.: 16 (1978) (p. 63)
CAS No.: 99-56-9
Chem. Abstr. Name: 4-Nitro-1,2-benzenediamine
5. Summary of Data Reported and Evaluation
5.1 Animal data
In the only available study, a hair-dye formulation containing
1,2-diamino-4-nitrobenzene mixed with 1,4-diamino-2-nitrobenzene was
tested in mice by skin application. No data on
1,2-diamino-4-nitrobenzene alone were available. No evaluation of the
carcinogenicity of this compound can be made.
5.2 Human data
No case reports or epidemiological studies were available to the
Working Group (see, however, 'General Remarks on the Substances
Considered').
Subsequent evaluation: Suppl. 7 (1987) (p. 61: Group 3)
For definition of Groups, see Preamble Evaluation.
