Environmental toxicology and chemistry, 24(5), 1022-1028 (2005-08-23)
Aromatic amines, such as benzidine and 3,3'-dichlorobenzidine (DCB), are part of the dyes and pigments manufacturing process. The prolonged use of these carcinogenic chemicals in the past generation has introduced a significant amount of contamination to the environment. Their persistency

3,3'-dichlorobenzidine (DCB) can be metabolically N-acetylated and/or N-oxidized, and can form hemoglobin adducts. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry-selected ion monitoring detection mode (GC/MS-SIM) could be a good analytical method to detect them. 4-Aminobiphenyl and phenanthrene-d10 were used as internal standards, and standard
Takeshi Ohe et al.
Mutation research, 655(1-2), 28-35 (2008-07-19)
3,3'-Dichlorobenzidine (DCB), which has been assigned as a possible carcinogen to humans (Group 2B) by IARC, is produced as a raw material in the manufacture of polymers and dye intermediates. In our previous paper, we identified DCB as an indirect-acting
