3.HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Most Important Hazards and Effects of the Products
Human Health Effects : There are no anticipated carcinogenic effects from exposure base d on animal tests
performed using toner. When used as intended according to instructions, studies do not
indicate any symptoms of fibrosis will occur.
Environmental Effects : Not toxic to aquatic organisms
[Estimated from the other product containing similar material]
Specific Hazards : Dust explosion (like most finely divided organic powders)
Directive 1999/45/EC(Europe) : Not classified as dangerous
4.FIRST-AID MEASURES
Route(s) of Entry : Inhalation? Skin? Ingestion?
Yes No Possible but very unusual.
Inhalation : Remove to fresh air. If symptoms occur, consult medical personnel.
Skin Contact : Wash with soap and water for 15 minutes or until particle is removed.
If irritation does occur, consult medical personnel.
Eye Contact : Flush eyes immediately with water for 15 minutes. If irritation does occur, consult medical personnel.
Ingestion : Rinse with water and drink several glasses of water. If irritation or discomfort does occu r, consult
medical personnel.
5.FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing Media : Water, CO2, foam and dry chemicals
Special Fire Fighting Procedures : None
Fire and Explosion Hazards : Toner material, like most finely divided organic powders, may form an explosive
mixture.
6.ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions : None
Environmental Precautions : None
Methods for Cleaning Up : Wipe off with paper or cloth. Do not use vacuum cleaner when a large amount is
released. It, like most finely divided organic powders, is capable of creating a
dust explosion.
7.HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Technical Measures : None
Precautions : None
Safe Handling Advice : Use of a dust mask is recommended when handling a large qua ntity of toner or during long
term exposure, as with any non-toxic dust. Try not to disperse the particles.
Storage
Technical Measures : None
Storage Conditions : Keep container closed and Store in a cool and dry place.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Incompatible Products : None
8.EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

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 a ny association b etwee n carb on bl a ck
and lung tumors. Moreover, a two-year cancer bioassay using a typical toner preparation, where
carbon black is bound in a resin matrix, demonstrated no association between to ner 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
group, and a minimal to mild degree of fibrosis was noted in 22% of the animals in the middle
3
(4mg/m
) exposure group, but no pulmonary change was reported in the lowest (1mg/m3)
exposure group, the most relevant level to potential human exposures.
