 Toner is a fine, black powder possessing no immediate hazard. There are no anticipated carcinogenic
 effects from exposure based on animal tests performed using toner. When used as intended according
 to instructions, studies do not indicate any symptoms of fibrosis will occur.
                                                                                                                                                                                      

 Route(s) of Entry  :  Inhalation?

 

    Yes

 No

Possible but very unusual.

 Health Hazards   :

Acute oral toxicity --- LDL

0

 of this toner is over 2,000mg/kg.

Mutagenicity --- The result of Ames test is negative.

 Carcinogenicity   :

In 1996 the IARC reevaluated carbon black as a Group 2B carcinogen (possible human
carcinogen).  This classification is given to chemicals for which there is inadequate human
evidence, but sufficient animal evidence on which to base an opinion of carcinogenicity.
The classification is based upon the development of lung tumors in rats receiving chronic
inhalation exposures to free carbon black at levels that induce particle overload of the lung.
Studies performed in animal models other than rats did not show any association between
carbon black and lung tumors.  Moreover, a two-year cancer bioassay using a typical toner
preparation containing carbon black demonstrated no association between toner exposure
and tumor development in rats.

 Chronic Effect    :

In a study in rats of chronic inhalation exposure to a typical toner, a mild to moderate degree
of lung fibrosis was observed in 92% of the rats in the high concentration (16mg/m

3

)

exposure group, and a minimal to mild degree of fibrosis was noted in 22% of the animals in
the middle (4mg/m

3

) exposure group, but no pulmonary change was reported in the lowest

(1mg/m

3

) exposure group, the most relevant level to potential human exposures.

   :

Minimal irritation to respiratory tract may occur as with
exposure to any non-toxic dust.

 Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure :  None

 Personal Protection Information (Respiratory, Eye Protection and Protective Glove):

Use of a dust mask is recommended when handling a large quantity

of toner or during long term exposure, as with any non-toxic dust.

:

Not required.

:

Inhalation should be minimized as with any non-toxic dust.

 Steps to be taken in case of Spill or Leak :

Sweep up or clean up with vacuum cleaner.

:

Waste material may be dumped or incinerated under conditions

              

which meet all federal, state and local environmental regulations.
