Section 3: Hazards Identification
Hazard Rating:
FIRE = 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/m
3
), 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/m 3 ), while a slight
degree of fibrosis was observed at the highest exposure level (16mg/m
3
) 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.
