| Abstract |
This review article discusses the carcinogenicity of aromatic amines (β-naphthylamine, benzidine) used in azo dyes. Though these substances are normally considered to be biologically inert, there is some epidemiologic and metabolic evidence that they can cause cancer of the urinary bladder. Even cessation of azo dye production would not entirely eliminate the risk of exposure, as these substances are in widespread use in manufactured products. Appropriate protective measures are suggested. |
