Preferred Label : 2-Naphthylamine;
NCIt synonyms : Fast Scarlet Base B; Beta-naphthylamine; 2-Aminonaphthalene; 2-Naphthylamine;
NCIt definition : A synthetic, air-sensitive, colorless crystalline solid that is soluble in hot water,
alcohol, ether and many organic solvents. Currently, it is only used in laboratory
research. Because the commercial production and use of 2-naphthylamine are banned,
the potential for human exposure is low. The general population may be exposed to
this chemical through inhalation of emissions from sources where nitrogen-containing
organic matter is burned, such as coal furnaces and cigarettes. At greatest risk of
occupational exposure to 2-naphthylamine are laboratory technicians and scientists
who use it in research. Acute inhalation exposure to high levels of 2-naphthylamine
can result in methemoglobinemia, dyspnea, ataxia, hematuria, dysuria and hemorrhagic
cystitis. It is known to be a human carcinogen. (NCI05);
