Effects of Chronic Exposure
National Toxicology Program studies on diethanolamine itself and fatty acid condensates containing free diethanolamine
(DEA) (lauramide and cocamide diethanolamines) indicated an increased incidence of kidney and/or liver tumors in mice
dermally exposed for their lifetime. The significance of these findings and their potential relevance to humans are not
clear and further studies are in progress. Diethanolamine or its condensates did not induce tumor in rats. In the interim,
the US CIR, which had previously considered these materials as safe as used
Carcinogenicity:
has expressed reservation over NTP's
