Section 3: Hazards Identification

HMIS Rating:

FLAMMABILITY = 0 HEALTH = 0
REACTIVITY = 0 SPECIAL = none

Health Hazards (Acute, Chronic, Immediate and Potential): Minimum irritation to respiratory tract may occur as with exposure to any non-toxic dust. May
cause gasping if inhaled. Inhalation should be avoided. May cause temporary eye discomfort.
Health Hazards of Long Term exposure (Chronic): A manufacturer sponsored chronic inhalation study in rats using a special test toner revealed there
were no lung changes at all in the lowest exposure level (1mg/m3), the most relevant level to potential human exposures. A very slight degree of fibrosis was
noted in 25% of the animals at the middle exposure level (4mg/m3), while a slight degree of fibrosis was observed at the highest exposure level (16mg/m3) in
all animals. These findings are attributed to “Lung Overloading”, a generic response to excessive amount of any dust retained in the lungs for a prolonged
interval. The special test toner was ten times more respirable than commercially available toner to comply with EPA testing protocol and would not function
properly in xerographic equipment.

Section 4: First Aid Measures

Inhalation:

Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water.

Remove to fresh air if effects occur. Consult
local medical personnel

Eye Contact: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with

water for 5 minutes.

Ingestion: Dilute stomach contents with water. Call a

physician.

Conditions to avoid: none Materials to avoid: none Stability: Stable

Section 11: Toxicological Information:

Ames Test result: Negative
Carcinogenicity: In 1996, the IARC reevaluated carbon black as a GROUP 2B carcinogen (possible human carcinogen). This evaluation is given to carbon
black for which there is inadequate human evidence, but sufficient animal evidence. The latter is based upon the development of lung tumors in rats receiving
chronic inhalation exposures to free carbon black at a level that induce particle overload of the lungs. Studies performed in mice have not demonstrated an
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 and tumor development in rats.

Section 12: Environmental / Ecological Information
