 MSDS NO.: F-01011

 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 in22% 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.
