32. Benzidine (BZ) and its derivatives had and have been widely used in industry, mainly as dyes and pigments in various applications. Since the 1970s, TMB has replaced the strong carcinogen BZ and has been applied to many fields including criminal detection, tests for legal medical experts, clinical assays, and environmental monitoring:, M.
