The possible medical hazards in the coloration industry cancer, skin, and general toxic are discussed. The evidence from past and recent work does not point to the existence of a cancer hazard, and indicates that the other risks are not of a high degree. This does not imply any relaxation of the safety measures already in use, because one cannot eliminate the possibility that if this were to be done, cases might occur.
