Wikipedia

Aniline serves in the chemical industry primarily as a basic material for the synthesis of colors and colored fibers, but also for the manufacturing of rubber and drugs and as components of hypergolic fuels for space flight. Aniline is a blood-changing poison which can start hemolysis and is suspected to be a carcinogen. Because it can be taken in through the skin, it can be a contact poison.

Organ toxicity: Classified as not expected, possibly toxic or harmful. Not suspected of bioaccumulative effects.

The largest group by sheer numbers under the colors is the azo colors; they are inexpensive and color-stable, and show themselves to have high luminosity. One of these powerful colors is thought nevertheless to release aromatic amines, which can be classified as cancerogenic and/or poisonous. These aromatic amines whose most important representative is aniline (aminobenzol), cannot be used in cosmetics, but can for example be released out of colored textiles through perspiration and saliva, and enter the body. While only a few of these colors which are derived from tar derivatives are approved for foodstuffs and also for textiles, it is represented in the EU in the whole color palette of chemistry for cosmetics. The USA clearly takes this more seriously for protecting the health of the population. There the so-called mon-azo or bi-azo, therefore synthetic colors made of coal or tar derivatives, are not approved except for a few cases, and then only with strong limitations. In the critical literature it was remarked with 25 of the EU countries and also Switzerland that these can leak in through the skin, impact the liver and aniline can be wedged off. Finally a further fatal chain is presented as with the nitrosamines, and this is also one reason that the suspicion of cancer causation is still in play. It is certainly true that azo dye materials can cause allergies (hives, asthma), whereby people with oversensitivity against aspirin can be endangered.
