NCIt related terms : 3,3'-DICHLOROBENZIDINE;
NCIt definition : A synthetic, light-sensitive, gray to purple crystalline solid that is insoluble in
cold water but is soluble in ether, benzene, glacial acetic acid and alcohol. It is
used primarily in the manufacture of pigments for printing ink, textiles, paper, paint,
rubber, and plastics and as a curing agent for isocyanate-containing polymers and
solid urethane plastics. When heated to decomposition, 3,3-dichlorobenzidine emits
toxic fumes of chlorinated compounds and nitrogen oxides. The primary routes of potential
human exposure to 3,3-dichlorobenzidine are inhalation of airborne dust, ingestion
of contaminated well water by those living near hazardous waste sites, and dermal
contact, primarily during industrial operations. Contact with this compound may cause
dermatitis. It is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen. (NCI05);
