Abstract: Carcinogenic and allergenic dyes have become a growing concern and a hot topic of scientific research, as important items in the ecological textiles testing. In view of the situation, information of carcinogenic and allergenic dyes in the textile regulations and standards is confused, extraction efficiency in pretreatment is generally not high, and bias is easily appeared during an instrument test with quantitative analysis and qualitative confirmation. In this paper, we summarized carcinogenic and allergenic dyes involved in the textile related laws and regulations corrected some confusing information of dye compounds, discussed grouping principles of standard mixed solution for dyes, reviewed determination methods and problems of carcinogenic and allergenic dyes, and also forecasted its development trend.

Key words: textiles, carcinogenic and allergenic dye, high performance liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry
