11. Toxicological Information
Routes Of Overexposure: Eye, skin, inhalation, and oral
Acute Health Hazards:
• Overexposure of eye surface to toner may be mildly irritating
• Overexposure of skin to toner contact may cause irritation and in some people swelling and redness
• Intentional inhalation overexposure to toner may result in respiratory tract irritation
• Intentional or accidental oral ingestion may cause an upset stomach
Chronic Health Hazards: Prolonged inhalation of excessive dust may cause lung damage. It is attributed to
“lung overloading”, a generic response to excessive amounts of any dust retained in the
lungs for a prolonged interval. Use of this product, as intended, does not result in
inhalation of excessive dust.
In a study in rats by chronic inhalation exposure to a typical toner, a mild to moderate
degree of lung fibrosis was observed in 92% of rats in the high concentration
(16mg/m
of the animals in the middle (4mg/m
was reported in the lowest (1mg/m
3
) exposure group, and a minimal to mid degree of fibrosis was noted in 22%
3
) exposure group. But no pulmonary change
