Primary Aromatic Amine

Primary Aromatic Amine

Primary aromatic amines (PAA) are a group of compounds. They might be added to plastics during production.

In animal testing the PAAs have been shown to be related to cancer, and one form of PAA has been found in unacceptable high levels in kitchen utensils made of black nylon in China.
