· Teratogenicity Toxic starting from 21 mg aniline/kg bw/day. c) Carcinogenicity Aniline is currently classified as carcinogenic, category 3 and labelled with R40 "limitedevidence of a carcinogenic effect". Animal studies have shown an increase in tumors of the spleen in rats exposed to aniline hydrochloride. EPA calculated an oral cancer slope factor of 5.7 x 10-3 (mg/kg/d) -1 and an oral unit risk estimate of 1.6 × 10- 7 (µg/L)-1. d) Genotoxicity and mutagenicity Aniline did not induce unscheduled DNA repair in primary human or rat hepatocytes. In mice, aniline induced micronuclei in several studies, but only at very high dose levels in the toxic range. Negative results have been found in the analysis of sperm head anomalies and equivocal results in the dominant lethal test. e) Other toxic effects, e.g. immunotoxicity and local toxicity - No information available. f) Ecotoxicity
