 Developer is a black powder containing small amounts of toner, and possessing no immediate hazard. There are no
 anticipated carcinogenic effects from exposure based on animal tests performed using toner.

 Health Hazards    :

 of this toner which is included in this developer is

   over 2,000mg/kg.

Mutagenicity --- The toner, which is included in this developer, has been tested

   on Ames test.  The result 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. While there have been no studies to date using developer, a
two-year cancer bioassay using a typical toner preparation containing carbon black (a small
amount of toner is included in the developer mixture) demonstrated no association between
toner exposure and tumor development in rats.

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