SECTION 3 HAZARDOUS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW : Fine black powder.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
EYE EFFECTS : Mild irritant.
SKIN EFFECTS : None currently known.
INGESTION EFFECTS : May be harmful if swallowed.
INHALATION EFFECTS : Minimal respiratory tract irritation may occur as with
exposure to large amounts of any non-toxic dust.
May cause cough and raise phlegm.
CHRONIC EFFECTS : Not aware of any health effects associated with toner under
its intended use.
CARCINOGENICITY : Carbon black is reclassified as a group 2B by IARC, but
inhalation test using a typical toner showed no association
between toner exposure and animal tumors.
SPECIFIC HAZARDS : Dust explosion (like most finely divided organic powders)

SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES
EYE CONTACT : Any material that contacts the eye should be washed out immediately
with water.
Get medical attention if symptoms is occur.
SKIN CONTACT : Wash after each contact.
Get medical attention if symptoms is occur.
INHALATION : If symptomatic, remove to fresh air.
Get medical attention if symptoms persist.
INGESTION : If swallowed, drink 1-2 glasses of water and immediately induce
vomiting. Get medical attention.
SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT : Not applicable.
FLAMMABLE LIMITS : Not applicable.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA : Water fog, dry chemical, foam or CO2.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS : Carbon monoxide, Carbon dioxide and Smoke
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS : If dispersed in air, like most finely divided organic
powders, may form an explosive mixture.
SECTION 6 ACCIDENTIAL RELEASE MEASURES
Minimize the release of particulates. Wear personal protective equipment.
Sweep up or vacuum spilled toner and carefully transfer into sealed waste
container. Sweep slowly to minimize generation of dust during cleanup. If a
vacuum is used, the motor must be rated as dust tight. Residue can be removed
with soap and water. Garments may be washed or dry cleaned, after removal of
loose toner.
SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING : Avoid creating dust. Clean up all spills promptly.
Inhalation and contact with skin or eyes should be avoided.
Provide general ventilation. Good general ventilation should be
sufficient of most conditions.
STORAGE : Store in a cool, well ventilated place away from flames and
spark-producing equipment.
SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
EXPOSURE GUIDELINES : ACGIH TLV= 10mg/m3(Total dust)
OSHA PEL= 15mg/m3(Total dust), 5mg/m3(Respirable dust)
ENGINEERING CONTROLS : Good general ventilation is recommended.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION : Not required under normal conditions. For use other
than in normal operating procedures (such as in the
event of large spill), goggles and respirators may be
required.
SKIN PROTECTION : Not required under normal conditions.
EYE PROTECTION : Not required under normal conditions.

SECTION 11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
INHALATION : Finely divided solid. Avoid exposure to dust.
EYE : No specific hazard known. May cause temporary irritation.
SKIN : Low hazard for recommended handling.
INGESTION : Expected to be a low ingestion hazard.
MUTAGENICITY : Negative in the Ames test (main ingredients)
CARCINOGENICITY :
In 1996, the IARC revaluated 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 rat receiving chronic inhalation exposures
to free carbon black at level that induce particle overload of the lung.
Studies performed in animal models other than rats 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 exposure and tumor development in rats.
CHRONIC EFFECTS:
In study in rats (H. Muhle) by 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/m3) exposure group, and a minimal to mild degree
of fibrosis was noted in 22% of the animals in the middle (4mg/m3) exposure group.
But no pulmonary change was reported in the lowest (1mg/m3) exposure group, the
most relevant level to potential human exposure.
