o-Tolidine
A white to reddish colored, combustible, aromatic amine that emits toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides when heated to decomposition. o-Tolidine is used in industry as a dye or as an intermediate in the manufacture of dyes and pigments and is also used in clinical laboratories for the detection of blood. Exposure to this substance irritates the eyes, skin and respiratory tract and damages the kidneys and liver. o-Tolidine is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen. (NCI Thesaurus)
