| Abstract |
4,4'-Methylenodianiline (MDA) exists as colourless to pale yellow crystalline flakes. Occupational exposure to MDA occurs by dermal, oral and inhalation routes. MDA is a hepatotoxic agent. Acute human exposure to MDA results in liver damage, cholangitis and centrilobular cholestasis. Chronic exposure also causes liver damage. The Expert Group has recommended a TLV of 0.8 mg/m3 for 4,4' -methylenodianiline. A skin notation and a carcinogen notation (probably carcinogenic to humans) are also assigned. |
