5. Summary of Data Reported and Evaluation
5.1 Animal data
2,5-Diaminotoluene sulfate in commercial hair-dye formulations, or in
experimental mixtures similar to those used as hair dyes, was
inadequately tested by skin application on mice and rats. No data on
2,5-diaminotoluene or 2,5-diaminotoluene sulfate alone were
available. No evaluation of their carcinogenicity 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.
