5. Summary of Data Reported and Evaluation
5.1 Animal data
meta-Phenylenediamine as a constituent of a hair-dye formulation was
inadequately tested in mice by skin painting. meta-Phenylenediamine
and its hydrochloride were inadequately tested in rats by subcutaneous
injection. No evaluation of the carcinogenicity of this compound or of
its hydrochloride 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. 70: Group 3)
For definition of Groups, see Preamble Evaluation.
