5. Summary of Data Reported and Evaluation

5.1 Animal data

Data reported in an abstract indicate that 2,4-xylidine produced an increased incidence of subcutaneous and liver tumours in rats following its oral administration. The inadequacy of reporting does not allow an evaluation of the carcinogenicity of this compound to be made.

5.2 Human data

No case reports or epidemiological studies were available to the Working Group.

Subsequent evaluation: Suppl. 7 (1987) (p. 74: Group 3)
