Toxicological Profile for 3,3’-Dichlorobenzidine

Title: Toxicological Profile for 3,3’-Dichlorobenzidine (DCBZ)

Subject of Planned Report: The ATSDR toxicological profile succinctly reviews the toxicologic and epidemiologic literature to identify adverse health effects for the substance being described. It also summarizes environmental fate and transport mechanisms and potential for human exposure.

Purpose of Planned Report: The purpose of the toxicological profile is to provide a source of toxicological and epidemiological data on hazardous substances most commonly found at hazardous waste sites and in support of public health assessments at these sites.
