Acute Ingestion Effects: None currently known. Primary Entry Routes: Inhalation, dermal contact, incidental ingestion. Health Hazards of Long Term exposure (Chronic): 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. Carcinogenicity: Carbon Black was reclassified as a Group 2B by the IARC in 1996 based upon the result of only the inhalation study in rats. However, there was not observed the incidence of tumors on the test results on dermal or oral studies. Also, 2-years inhalation study using a typical toner containing carbon black showed no association between toner exposure and animal tumors. Medical Condition Aggravated By Long Term Exposure: Respiratory disorders, such as asthma, may be aggravated by prolonged exposure to high concentrations of this product. Miscellaneous: Prolonged exposure to dusts of this product may irritate the respiratory system. Section 4: First Aid Measures Inhalation: Remove to fresh air immediately. Get medical attention if needed. Eye Contact: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention if needed. Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. Wash clothing before reuse. If irritation occurs or is persistent, seek medical attention. Ingestion: Dilute stomach contents with several glasses of water. Get medical attention. Text Box: MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures Suitable extinguishing media: CO2, dry chemical, foam or water. Fire Fighting Instructions: Generally by sprinkling or extinguisher. Unusual Fire or explosion hazards: Combustible powder. Dust of this product at sufficient concentrations can form explosive mixtures with air. Hazardous Combustion Products: CO2, Carbon Monoxide and smoke. Miscellaneous: This material is capable of creating a dust explosion. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. UEL: n/a LEL: n/a Section 6: Accidental Release Measures Spill / leak Procedures: If spilled, sweep up using an approved toner vacuum with a 0.5 micron filter or smaller, such as the Atrix AAA Toner Vacuum or 3M Toner Vacuum. Use of a vacuum cleaner not rated for toner particles, could result in a fire or personal injury. Remove residue with soap and cold water. Miscellaneous: Keep product out of sewers and watercourses. Personal protection: Avoid inhalation of dust. Section 7: Handling and Storage Special Handling: Cleanse skin after contact before eating, drinking or smoking. Do not handle in areas where the wind blows. Flying powder may enter eyes. Minimize the breathing of dust. Special Storage: Avoid direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place. Below 35C (95F) Section 8: Exposure Control and Personal Protection Information: Respiratory Protection: none required under normal use. Hand Protection: none required under normal use. Eye Protection: none required under normal use. Skin Protection: none required under normal use.

Special effects: Carcinogenicity: In 1996 the IARC reclassified Carbon Black as a Group 2B carcinogen (possible human carcinogen). This evaluation is given to carbon black for which there is inadequa...
