Abstract
The total annual output of synthetic dyes exceeds 7 × 105 tons. About 1,000 tons of non-biodegradable synthetic dyes are released every year into the natural streams and water sources from textile wastes. The release of these colored wastewater exerts negative impact on aquatic ecology and human beings because of the poisonous and carcinogenic repercussions of dyes involved in coloration production. Therefore, with a growing interest in the environment, efficient technologies need to be developed to eliminate dyes from local and industrial wastewater. Supercritical water oxidation as a promising wastewater treatment technology has many advantages, such as a rapid reaction and pollution-free products. However, due to corrosion, salt precipitation and operational problems, supercritical water oxidation process did not gain expected industrial development. These technical difficulties can be overcome by application of non-corrosive subcritical water as a reaction medium. This work summarizes the negative impacts of dyes and role of subcritical and supercritical water and their efficiencies in dye oxidation processes.

Javaid R, Qazi UY. Catalytic Oxidation Process for the Degradation of Synthetic Dyes: An Overview. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2019; 16:E2066. [PMID: 31212717 PMCID: PMC6603921 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph16112066] [Citation(s) in RCA: 108] [Impact Index Per Article: 21.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2019] [Revised: 05/29/2019] [Accepted: 06/07/2019] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Dyes are used in various industries as coloring agents. The discharge of dyes, specifically synthetic dyes, in wastewater represents a serious environmental problem and causes public health concerns. The implementation of regulations for wastewater discharge has forced research towards either the development of new processes or the improvement of available techniques to attain efficient degradation of dyes. Catalytic oxidation is one of the advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), based on the active radicals produced during the reaction in the presence of a catalyst. This paper reviews the problems of dyes and hydroxyl radical-based oxidation processes, including Fenton's process, non-iron metal catalysts, and the application of thin metal catalyst-coated tubular reactors in detail. In addition, the sulfate radical-based catalytic oxidation technique has also been described. This study also includes the effects of various operating parameters such as pH, temperature, the concentration of the oxidant, the initial concentration of dyes, and reaction time on the catalytic decomposition of dyes. Moreover, this paper analyzes the recent studies on catalytic oxidation processes. From the present study, it can be concluded that catalytic oxidation processes are very active and environmentally friendly methods for dye removal.

Abstract
p-Phenylenediamine is a cosmetic hair dye intermediate used in permanent hair coloring products at concentrations of up to 5 percent (diluted 1:1 with an oxidizing agent prior to application). The extensive animal toxicity test data on p-Phenylenediamine and permanent cosmetic hair dyes containing this compound show that the degree of toxicity varies with concentration, test system and animal species. Animal data support a conclusion that this compound is neither a teratogen nor a carcinogen. Epidemiological data also support that hair dyes containing this ingredient are not carcinogenic. p-Phenylenediamine is a sensitizer and some persons may be sensitized under intended conditions of use. For those persons not sensitized, it is concluded that p-Phenylenediamine is safe as a hair dye ingredient at the current concentrations of use.

Abstract
p-Aminophenol (PAP), m-Aminophenol (MAP), and o-Aminophenol (OAP) are used in permanent (oxidative) hair dyes at concentrations from 0.1 to 5%. In vivo and in vitro skin absorption studies indicated that 11% of the dermally applied 14C-PAP was detected in the excreta, viscera, and skin of the test animals. The oral LD50s of PAP, MAP, and OAP in rats ranged from 600 to 1300 mg/kg. Topical application of PAP at concentrations up to 8.00 g/kg to the skin of New Zealand white (NZW) rabbits produced no skin irritation and no mortality. PAP, MAP, and OAP were irritating to eyes of NZW rabbits at a concentration of 2.5%. MAP at 3% was nonsensitizing in guinea pigs; PAP at 2% sensitized 9 of 10 guinea pigs. Neither PAP nor MAP produced photosensitization in guinea pigs. No treatment-related toxicity was found in three separate four-generation chronic dermal toxicity and reproduction studies of hair dye formulations containing the three Aminophenols. Additional studies on the pure ingredients were also nonteratogenic; embryotoxicity was reported. A range of results was obtained from studies assessing the mutagenic activity of the Aminophenols. PAP tested positive in six of eight mutagenicity tests. MAP and OAP gave positive results in two of eight and five of seven mutagenicity tests, respectively. Oxidative hair dye formulations containing PAP, MAP, and OAP did not produce gross or microscopic alterations or have carcinogenic effects after chronic topical application to mice. Feeding of OAP-HCl and PAP to rats at a dose of 8 mmol/kg produced neither hepatic cirrhosis nor neoplastic lesions. A 3% solution of MAP in an aqueous vehicle was neither a significant irritant nor sensitizer in two clinical studies. A variety of epidemiological studies have not indicated that occupational exposure to, and personal use of, hair dyes containing the Aminophenols presented a carcinogenic risk. A discussion of the significance of the mutagenic data in the safety assessment and the potential for human effects is presented. On the basis of the available animal and clinical data presented in this report it is concluded that p-, m-, and o-Aminophenols are safe as cosmetic ingredients in the present practices of use and concentrations.

Abstract
Aniline (in the form of its hydrochloride) has been shown to induce a rather rare spectrum of tumors in the spleen of Fischer 344 rats. The dose levels necessary for this carcinogenic activity were in a range where also massive effects on the blood and non-neoplastic splenotoxicity as a consequence of methemoglobinemia were to be observed. This review aimed at clarifying if aniline itself or one of its metabolites has a genotoxic potential which would explain the occurrence of the spleen tumors in rats as a result of a primary genetic activity. The database for aniline and its metabolites is extremely heterogeneous. With validated assays it ranges from a few limited Ames tests (o- and m-hydroxyacetanilide, phenylhydroxylamine, nitrosobenzene) to a broad range of studies covering all genetic endpoints partly with several studies of the same or different test systems (aniline, p-aminophenol, p-hydroxyacetanilide). This makes a direct comparison rather difficult. In addition, a varying number of results with as yet not validated systems are available for aniline and its metabolites. Most results, especially those with validated and well performed/documented studies, did not indicate a potential of aniline to induce gene mutations. In five different mouse lymphoma tests, where colony sizing was performed only in one test, aniline was positive. If this indicates a peculiar feature of a point mutagenic potential or does represent a part of the clastogenic activity for which there is evidence in vitro as well as in vivo remains to be investigated. There is little evidence for a DNA damaging potential of aniline. The clastogenic activity in vivo is confined to dose levels, which are close to lethality essentially due to hematotoxic effects. The quantitatively most important metabolites for experimental animals as well as for humans (p-aminophenol, p-hydroxyacetanilide) seem to have a potential for inducing chromosomal damage in vitro and, at relatively high dose levels, also in vivo. This could be the explanation for the clastogenic effects that have been observed after high doses/concentrations with aniline. They do not induce gene mutations and there is little evidence for a DNA damaging potential. None of these metabolites revealed a splenotoxic potential comparable to that of aniline in studies with repeated or long-term administration to rats. The genotoxicity database on those metabolites with a demonstrated and marked splenotoxic potential, i.e. phenylhydroxylamine, nitrosobenzene, is unfortunately very limited and does not allow to exclude with certainty primary genotoxic events in the development of spleen tumors. But quite a number of considerations by analogy from other investigations support the conclusion that the effects in the spleen do not develop on a primary genotoxic basis. The weight of evidences suggests that the carcinogenic effects in the spleen of rats are the endstage of a chronic high-dose damage of the blood leading to a massive overload of the spleen with iron, which causes chronic oxidative stress. This conclusion, based essentially on pathomorphological observations, and analogy considerations thereof by previous authors, is herewith reconfirmed under consideration of the more recently reported studies on the genotoxicity of aniline and its metabolites, on biochemical measurements indicating oxidative stress, and on the metabolism of aniline. It is concluded that there is no relationship between the damage to the chromosomes at high, toxic doses of aniline and its major metabolites p-aminophenol/p-hydroxyacetanilide and the aniline-induced spleen tumors in the rat.

Abstract
Nitrobenzene (CASRN: 98-95-3) has been shown to induce cancers in many tissues including kidney, liver, and thyroid, following chronic inhalation in animals. However, with a few exceptions, genotoxicity assays using nitrobenzene have given negative results. Some DNA binding/adduct studies have brought forth questionable results and, considering the available weight of evidence, it does not appear that nitrobenzene causes cancer via a genotoxic mode of action. Nitrobenzene produces a number of free radicals during its reductive metabolism, in the gut as well as at the cellular level, and generates superoxide anion as a by-product during oxidative melabolism. The reactive species generated during nitrobenzene metabolism are considered candidates for carcinogenicity. Furthermore, several lines of evidence suggest that nitrobenzene exerts its carcinogenicity through a non-DNA reactive (epigenetic) fashion, such as a strong temporal relationship between non-, pre-, and neoplastic lesions leading to carcinogenesis. In this report, we first describe the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of nitrobenzene followed by a summary of the available genotoxicity studies and the only available cancer bioassay. We subsequently refer to the mode of action framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's 2005 Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment as a basis for presenting possible modes of action for nitrobenzene-induced cancers of the liver, thyroid, and kidney, as supported by the available experimental data. The rationale(s) regarding human relevance of each mode of action is also presented. Finally, we hypothesize that the carcinogenic mode of action for nitrobenzene is multifactorial in nature and reflective of free radicals, inflammation, and/or altered methylation.

Mutat Res 2006; 608:58-71.

Abstract
para-Phenylenediamine (PPD), a widely used ingredient of oxidative hair dyes, is converted by human hepatocytes and in the human epidermis, or after topical application to rats, to its N-monoacetylated (MAPPD) and/or N,N'-diacetylated (DAPPD) derivatives. We investigated in vitro genotoxic properties of PPD, MAPPD and DAPPD in the Ames test, the micronucleus test (MNT) in human lymphocytes and the mouse lymphoma assay (Hprt locus, PPD only). Given that MAPPD and DAPPD are actual human skin and hepatic metabolites of PPD and represent the substances to which humans are systemically exposed, they were tested in the absence of metabolic activation. In the Ames test, PPD was slightly mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA98 in the presence of a rat liver metabolic activation system (S-9), whereas MAPPD and DAPPD were negative in all strains. When tested up to toxic doses, PPD did not induce mutation at the Hprt locus of L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells in two independent experiments, either in the absence or presence of S-9, suggesting that PPD is non-mutagenic in mammalian cells. In the in vitro micronucleus test, PPD induced micronuclei (MN) in cultured human peripheral blood lymphocytes (HL) in the presence of S-9, when tested following 24-h PHA stimulation. No increases in MN frequency were observed in the absence of S-9, when tested following 24-h PHA stimulation. However, PPD induced MN both in the absence and presence of metabolic activation, when tested following 48-h PHA stimulation. In contrast, MAPPD and DAPPD did not induce MN in HL when tested up to 10mM concentrations or to their limit of solubility, respectively, after either 24- or 48-h stimulation. In conclusion, the results of the Ames and MN tests confirm that PPD has a slight genotoxic potential in vitro, although it was non-mutagenic in mammalian cells. Given that MAPPD and DAPPD were negative in the Ames and the MN tests, these acetylated conversion products are considered to be detoxified metabolites that are biologically less reactive than the parent molecule PPD.

Abstract
This research focuses on the use of soft computing to aid in the development of novel, state-of-the-art, nontoxic dyes which are of commercial importance to the U.S. textile industry. Where appropriate, modern molecular orbital (MO) and density functional (DF) techniques are employed to establish the necessary databases of molecular properties to be used in conjunction with the neural network approach. In this research, we focused on the following: (1) using molecular modeling to establish databases of various molecular properties of azo dyes required as input for our neural network approach; (2) designing and implementing a neural network architecture suitable to process these databases; and (3) investigating combinations of molecular descriptors needed to predict various properties of the azo dyes.

Abstract
o-Aminoazotoluene (AAT) has been evaluated as a possible human carcinogen (Class 2B) by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). The Ames test found it to be mutagenic in the presence of a metabolic activation system, whereas it has little clastogenicity either in vitro or in vivo in the chromosomal aberration assay. AAT is also carcinogenic in the lung or liver of mice and rats given long-term administrations. Therefore, metabolites generated in the liver etc. may have gene mutation activity, and carcinogenesis would occur. We examined the mutagenicity of AAT in a gene mutation assay, using lacZ transgenic mice (MutaMice) and a positive selection method. AAT showed positive results for organs with metabolic functions, such as liver and colon and other organs. Positive results were also seen in an Ames test in the presence of metabolic activation and negative results seen in a chromosomal aberration test. Therefore, AAT had the potential to cause gene mutation in the presence of metabolic activation systems in vitro and the same reaction was confirmed in vivo with organs with metabolic function, such as liver and colon, but little clastogenicity in vitro or in vivo. Thus, metabolites with gene mutation activity may be responsible for the carcinogenicity of AAT. The transgenic mouse mutation assay proved to be useful for concurrent assessment of in vivo mutagenicity in multiple organs and to supplement the standard in vivo genotoxicity tests, such as the micronucleus assay which is limited to bone marrow as the only target organ.

Abstract
A large number of compounds are toxic, genotoxic, mutagenic, teratogenic and/or carcinogenic. The genotoxicity of four textile dyes commonly used in India namely Sulphur Red Brown 360 (SRB), Jade Green 2G (JG), Reactofix Turquoise Blue 5GFL (RTB) and Direct Scarlet 4BS (DS) was determined by Bacillus subtilis spore Rec assay, both in the presence and absence of metabolizing activation mixture (S9 mix). Each dye was toxic at higher dose levels. A dose-dependent increase in the depth of growth inhibition zones was observed for all dyes. Zones of inhibition were usually clearer at higher doses of the dyes and with Rec- bacteria, but were translucent with Rec+ bacteria. SRB and DS were toxic to Rec+ and Rec- bacteria. JG was less genotoxic in the absence of S9 mix, however, its genotoxic potential increased in the presence of S9 mix. Reactofix T blue was more genotoxic in the absence of S9 mixture.

Abstract
p-Phenylenediamine, together with several of its amino and alkyl derivatives, are known to be myotoxic in animals and man. In the present study, it was found that 2-methoxy-p-phenylenediamine, a component of oxidative hair dyes, similarly causes necrosis of skeletal muscle (gastrocnemius, diaphragm and tongue) in rats. The myotoxicity of 2-methoxy-p-phenylenediamine was much greater than that of p-phenylenediamine itself. This observation is consistent with the relative efficacy of these substances in disrupting mitochondrial metabolism, an effect which is believed to be responsible for the selective toxicity of p-phenylenediamine derivatives to muscle.

Abstract
The CASE (Computer-Automated Structure Evaluation) methodology was used to gain an understanding of the basis of mutagenicity of phenylazoanilines. It was found that the activity of these molecules is dependent upon an intact moiety that spans the azo linkage, i.e., the azo bond must remain intact for mutagenicity. The study also addressed the effect of sulfonation on the activity of these azo dyes. It was revealed that sulfonation at only certain sites resulted in loss of mutagenicity. Sulfonation of the structural moiety responsible for the activity of phenylazoaniline dyes did not necessarily result in complete elimination of activity as this substitution could generate new structural moieties which contribute to the activity of the molecules.

Abstract
A total of 27 dyes and related chemicals were tested for mutagenicity in both the Salmonella typhimurium plate-incorporation and FMN-modified assays as well as the mouse lymphoma TK+/- assay. Half of the compounds tested were monoazo dyes (14); the remainder consisted of disazo (3), aminotriphenylmethane derivatives (4), and other miscellaneous (6) color compounds. The results obtained in this study are compared with data from dyes of the same batch tested in other laboratories in the Salmonella plate-incorporation assay and in both in vitro and in vivo/in vitro UDS assays. Agreement of results from the various assays that could be compared (excluding results that were equivocal or indeterminate) ranged from 80 to 91%. Sufficient data were available to provide an overall index of in vitro activity for 15 chemicals; of these, 14 compounds could be compared to and agreed with reports of their carcinogenic potential in the literature.

Abstract
Nocodazole, ethyl acetate, acetone and methyl ethyl ketone all are known to induce aneuploidy. Treatment of yeast strain D61.M with mixtures containing ineffective low levels of nocodazole and ineffective low levels of these solvents was highly effective in inducing aneuploidy. Ineffective low levels of nocodazole mixed with ineffective low levels of methyl 2-benzimidazolecarbamate also gave elevated frequencies of aneuploidy. Dimethyl formamide, a solvent that does not induce aneuploidy, mixed with low levels of nocodazole gave no increase in aneuploidy frequency above those levels seen in controls.

Abstract
Nocodazole and ethyl acetate have previously been shown to be potent inducers of aneuploidy in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The elevation in aneuploidy frequency induced by high doses of these compounds was reduced in a dose-response manner in the presence of increasing concentrations of dimethyl sulfoxide. These results imply that compounds dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide which either are weak inducers of aneuploidy or are of unknown potency may register as false negatives in routine screening procedures.

Abstract
Rat liver microsomal enzyme(s) that catalyze mutagenic activation of a carcinogenic aminoazo dye, 3-methoxy-4-aminoazobenzene (3-MeO-AAB), was studied by virtue of the Salmonella typhimurium TA98 assay using o-aminoazotoluene (OAT) as the control. Male Wistar rats were pretreated with phenobarbital (PB), 3-methylcholanthrene (MC) or polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), and the liver microsomal activities for mutagenic activation of 3-MeO-AAB and OAT were examined. In agreement with the reported results on several carcinogenic aromatic amines, MC pretreatment resulted in greater activation of microsomal activity in the OAT mutagenesis (about a 4-fold increase as compared to the untreated control) than did PB (1.5-fold increase). By contrast, the mutagenic activation of 3-MeO-AAB is found to be more efficiently catalyzed by those enzyme(s) that are induced by PB pretreatment (4-fold increase) than by those that are induced by MC (1.8-fold increase). The induced enzymes that principally mediate the mutagenic activation of these azo dyes are indicated to be cytochrome P-450s, because the mutagenic activation was strongly inhibited by addition of cytochrome P-450 inhibitors such as 2-diethylaminoethyl-2,2-diphenylvalerate (SKF 525A) and 7,8-benzoflavone. These data suggest that 3-MeO-AAB is a unique carcinogenic aromatic amine as a substrate for mutagenic activation via catalysis of those cytochrome P-450s that are induced by PB pretreatment.

Abstract
The mutagenicity of 6 azo dyes, including direct black 38 (DB38), direct black 19 (DB19), direct brown 95 (DB95), solvent yellow 3 (SY3), trypan blue (TPB), and food black 2 (FB2), was examined in the Salmonella/microsome assay. The effect of chemical azo reduction (dithionite) and in vivo metabolism on the mutagenicity of the dyes was also studied. In vivo azo-dye metabolites were isolated from the urine of rats intubated with dyes by XAD-2 column chromatography. Urinary metabolites from all the treated animals, except animals treated with FB2, induced frame-shift mutations in strains TA1538 and TA98 in the presence of liver S9 activation. The control urine did not increase the incidence of revertants in strains TA1538 and TA98. Thus, XAD-2 chromatography can be used to isolate genotoxic metabolites from the urine of animals intubated with azo dyes.

Abstract
Twenty-four dyes currently or previously used in the food, drug, cosmetic, and textile industries were tested in the in vitro rat hepatocyte primary culture/DNA repair (HPC/DR) assay and, to a limited extent, in the in vivo/in vitro HPC/DR assay. The positive control, Solvent Yellow 3 (o-aminoazotoluene), and five other dyes (4-dimethylaminobenzeneazo-1-naphthalene, 4-dimethylaminobenzeneazo-2-naphthalene, Direct Blue 53, Acid Blue 9, and 4-dimethylaminostilbene) induced DNA repair in rat hepatocytes both in vitro and in vivo, while 13 of the dyes (Food Red 1, Food Red 5, Food Orange 4, Food Red 7, Acid Red 14, Acid Red 27, Pigment Red 53, Acid Yellow 23, Food Black 1, Food Green 3, Acid Red 51, Acid Blue 74, and Natural Red 4) did not produce any detectable DNA repair in either the in vitro or in vivo/in vitro assays. Direct Blue 14 had weak activity in vitro but none was detected in vivo. In contrast, Solvent Yellow 5 was not active in vitro, but produced a weak positive response in vivo. Negative responses were also obtained for Solvent Yellow 14 and Acid Green 5 in the in vitro assay, whereas the responses produced by these dyes in the in vivo/in vitro assay were judged to be equivocal. An equivocal response was also obtained for Direct Red 28 in the in vivo/in vitro assay as well as in the in vitro assay. These findings provide information about the potential genotoxicity of a number of dyes for which previous genotoxicity data has been inconsistent or inadequate. For some dyes (eg, Solvent Yellow 5), discrepancies between the results obtained in the in vitro and in vivo/in vitro assays may implicate a role for intestinal microflora in their metabolic activation.

Abstract
Pursuant to the characterization of species differences in the effects of chemical carcinogens, several studies have demonstrated that hamster hepatocytes are more effective than rat hepatocytes in mediating the metabolic activation of certain chemicals to their genotoxic (i.e., mutagenic) derivatives. In the present investigation, a comparison of the amount of DNA repair induced in rat and hamster hepatocytes by 7 azo dyes and 7 aromatic amine azo reduction products of the dyes was performed using the primary hepatocyte culture/DNA repair (HPC/DR) assay. Congo Red and its azo reduction product, benzidine, were more potent inducers of DNA repair in hamster than in rat hepatocytes, whereas Trypan Blue and its reduction product, o-tolidine, were equipotent in the 2 hepatocyte systems. Evans Blue, another o-tolidine-based dye, elicited a greater DNA-repair response in hamster hepatocytes. The absolute potency of these dyes, however, was much less than their reduction products. o-Aminoazotoluene was the most potent of the dyes tested, and its DNA repair-inducing activity was much greater than that of its azo reduction products, o-toluidine and 2,5-diaminotoluene. Ponceau SX, which is carcinogenic in hamsters, but not in rats, was inactive in both hepatocyte systems. Dimethylaminobenzeneazo-1-naphthalene and its 2-naphthalene congener, as well as the 1- and 2-naphthylamine azo reduction products of these dyes, were more potent in hamster than in rat hepatocytes. However, the DNA repair-inducing activities of the parent dyes could not be entirely accounted for by the potencies of their respective naphthylamine derivatives. Taken together, these findings extend previous observations of the superior metabolic activation capabilities of hamster, relative to rat hepatocytes, and further demonstrate the utility of testing chemicals in both the hamster and rat HPC/DR assays.

Abstract
A selection of 16 sulfonated azo dyes of both the monoazo type and diazo dyes based on benzidine, o-tolidine and o-dianisidine were assayed for mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100 employing both aerobic and anaerobic preincubation procedures. 3 food dyes, FD & C Red No. 40 and Yellows No. 5 and No. 6 were non-mutagenic in all tests. 5 dyes were mutagenic with aerobic treatment (trypan blue, Pontacyl Sky Blue 4BX, Congo Red, Eriochrome Blue Black B, dimethylaminoazobenzene) and 6 were mutagenic aerobically with riboflavin and cofactors (Deltapurpurin, trypan blue, Pontacyl Sky Blue 4BX, Congo Red, methyl orange, Ponceau 3R). Anaerobic preincubation involving enzymatic reduction of the dyes led to a different pattern of mutagenicity, with trypan blue giving much enhanced mutagenicity; Eriochrome Blue Black B, Pontacyl Sky Blue 4BX, Deltapurpurin and Congo Red exhibiting similar activity to aerobic preincubation; and methyl orange and Ponceau 3R yielding no mutagenicity. The results are interpreted with respect to an hypothesis involving partial reduction of the azo bond under differing degrees of aerobiosis via azo-anion radicals and hydrazo intermediates.

Abstract
The genetic toxicology of the major dyestuffs used in foods, drugs and cosmetics has been reviewed. Published data for azo, triphenylmethane and xanthene dyes from short-term assays for muta-carcinogenicity have been summarized and discussed according to usage, current and previous worldwide legislative status. Certain other synthetic food dyes, commercial mixtures, natural and polymeric colourants as well as a section on aminoazobenzene and its derivatives have been included. Genotoxicity has been discussed with reference to structural chemistry, levels of exposure, absorption and metabolism and to epidemiological information. The extent of agreement between data from different tests and correlations with animal cancer assays have been considered. Synthetic dyes from the 3 major structural classes exhibit genotoxicity, whilst only 2 natural colours have proved active. Activity may be due to the presence of certain functional groups, notably nitro- and amino-substituents which are metabolized to ultimate electrophiles that may be stabilized by electronic interaction with aryl rings. Metabolic processes such as azo-reduction may be activating or detoxifying. the low but significant correlation between animal carcinogenicity and short-term test data may be increased with further screening, especially involving chromosome assays. It is suggested that a human cancer hazard may exist where significant quantities of finished benzidine dye samples are handled. Such risks from exposures to other colours and the possibility of human germ-line mutation induction by dyestuffs cannot be meaningfully assessed.

Abstract
Published data on the mutagenicity of the oxidative hair dye intermediate p-phenylenediamine in the Ames test are conflicting. The work reported here resolves the discrepancies, showing that the activity of p-phenylenediamine in the Ames Salmonella/microsome test is markedly influenced by the use of dimethylsulfoxide as solvent, and by the age of the solution prior to plating. Thus, aqueous solutions of p-phenylenediamine are non-mutagenic; fresh solutions in DMSO are equally non-mutagenic, but become highly active on standing at room temperature for 4 hr. These results suggest the need for caution in the choice of solvents and tight controls in the execution of the test.

Abstract
4,4'-Diaminobenzanilide and 4,4'-diaminoazobenzene were administered in the diet to BALB/c mice at 100, 300 and 600 ppm dose levels for 60 weeks. The animals were kept under observation until 140 weeks of age when the experiment was terminated. Control and treated groups developed the pattern of tumours usually observed in BALB/c mice. No tumour type at any site was related to treatment.
