Anthraquinone Dye Toxicological Profiles.

PB83166033

Publication Date	1981
Page Count	222
Abstract	The Consumer Product Safety Commission conducted a review of anthraquinone dyes having consumer application for which toxicity data was available. Both natural and synthetic anthraquinones have been employed as colorants in food, drugs, cosmetics, hair dyes, gasoline and textiles. Consumer use of these products makes dermal and inhalation exposure cause for concern; oral exposure could occur, but is much less likely. Toxicity parameters of the dyes reviewed include mutagenicity, allergenicity, and carcinogenicity. Catharsis was a related toxic effect of these dyes. The data are generally insufficient to judge the toxicity of most of the dyes in this report. Dyes with positive carcinogenicity testing results are: C.I. Disperse Orange 11, 2-aminoanthraquinone, Vat Yellow 4, and 2-methyl-l-nitro-anthraquinone.
