The carcinogen classification has been withdrawn following further review. In 1988. the Scientific Advisory Board for the EPA offered an opinion that the weight of evidence was on a C-B2 continuum (possible-probable human carcinogen).

Environment and health-related problems DCM is toxic for the central nervous system, for the liver and the kidneys (MAK-value 350 mg/m ), and it is absorbable via skin. Furthermore DCM is a suspected carcinogen (classification care, cat 3). DCM is low volatile and the vapour is heavier than air, thus high concentrations may occur at ground level during application. Activated-carbon-filters are ineffective and normal glove materials are penetrated within a few minutes. The required breathing equipment is, however, hardly used by craftsmen, which results in several deaths every year. 

EPA has assigned 1,3-DNB a weight-of-evidence carcinogenic classification of D, which indicates that 1,3-DNB is not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity (IRIS 1994). EPA has not assigned a weight-of-evidence carcinogenic classification for 1,3,5-TNB. 

The 2003 ACGIH threshold limit valuetime-weighted average (TLV-TWA) for propyleneimine is 2 ppm (4.7mg/m ) with an A2-suspected human carcinogen classification.
