Except where noted otherwise, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C, 100 kPa)Infobox references 3,3'-Dichlorobenzidine is used in the production of azo dyes and is considered a carcinogen.[1] It contains two benzene rings. This compound has been shown to increase the incidence of tumors in animals. [2] Because it is structurally similar to benzidine, a known carcinogen, it is believed that it may share a similar mechanism in causing bladder cancer in humans.[2]
