CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS<br />

Human Studies<br />

IARC (1990) reviewed studies by Currie (1933) and Uebelin and Pletscher (1954) which investigated<br />

bladder tumor incidence in small groups of male workers exposed to p-chloro-o-toluidine; one case of<br />

bladder carcinoma was discovered (Currie, 1933).<br />

A cohort study by Ott and Langner (1983) investigated 342 male workers involved in the manufacture<br />

of organic dyes in the US between 1914 and 1958. One plant area involved 117 workers with<br />

potential exposure to p-chloro-o-toluidine and other raw materials and intermediates, including ortho-<br />
