self
during cleanup in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas immediately after a fire. Personnel not having
suitable respiratory protection must leave the area to prevent significant exposure to toxic
combustion gases from any source.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
6.1 Personal precautions, protective
equipment and emergency
procedures

Prevent substance entering sewers. Washings must be prevented from entering surface water
drains.
6.3 Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning up
Sweep the spilt toner or remove it with a vacuum cleaner and transfer into a sealed container
carefully. Sweep slowly to minimize generation of dust during cleanup. If a vacuum cleaner is used,
the motor must be rated as dust explosion proof.
Potential fo
environment due to pore size in the bag or filter.

Carcinogenicity
Carbon Black: In 1996, the IARC re-evaluated 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 opin
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 r
tumors. Moreover, a two
black demonstrated no association between toner exposure and tumor development in rats.
