NCIt synonyms : Nitrobenzol; Mirbane Oil; p-Nitrobenzene;
NCIt definition : A yellowish, oily, aromatic nitro-compound with an almond-like odor that emits toxic
fumes of nitrogen oxides upon combustion. Nitrobenzene is primarily used in the manufacture
of aniline, but is also used in the manufacture of lubricating oils, dyes, drugs,
pesticides, and synthetic rubber. Exposure to nitrobenzene irritates the skin, eyes
and respiratory tract and can result in methemoglobinemia causing fatigue, dyspnea,
dizziness, disturbed vision, shortness of breath, collapse and even death. Nitrobenzene
also damages the liver, spleen, kidneys and central nervous system. This substance
is a possible mutagen and is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen. (NCI05);
