CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS<br />

Human Studies<br />

No studies on the potential carcinogenic effects of 4,4' methylenedianiline in humans are known to exist.<br />

Animal Studies<br />

Griswold et al. (1968) exposed a group of 20 female Sprague-Dawley rats to 30 mg 4,4'<br />

methylenedianiline dihydrochloride in 1 ml sesame oil by gavage every third day for 30 days (total dose,<br />

300 mg/rat). The animals were then observed for a further 9 months. A group of 140 female Sprague-<br />

Dawley rats served as a negative control group. No treatment-related increase in tumor incidence was<br />
