Section 4. Hazardous Identification (Emergency Overview)
Toner is a fine, black powder prossessing no immediate hazard. There are no anticipated carcinogenic effects from exposure based on animal tests performed using toner. When used as intended according to
instructions, syudies do not indicate any symptoms of fibrosis will occur.
Section 5. Health Hazard Data
Route(s) of Entry: Eye contact, inhalation, ingestion
Health Hazards: No data available
Carcinogenicity: In 1996 the IARC reevaluated carbon black as a Group 28 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 any 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.
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: No symptoms expected under intended use.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: None
Choronic 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
3 ) exposure group, and a minimal to mild degree of fibrosis was noted in 22% of the animals in the middle (4mg/m 3 ) exposure group, but no pulmonaly change
was reported in the lowest (1mg/m 3 ) exposure group, the most relevant level to potential human exposures.
Emergency and First Aid Porcedures:
Inhalation: If symptoms are experienced, remove source of contaimination or move victim to fresh air and obtain medical advice.
Eye Contact: Do not allow victim to rub eye(s). Flush with gently flowing water (lukewarm preferable) for 15 minutes or untill particle is removed. Have victim look right and left,
and, then up and down. If irritation does occur, obtain medical attention. DO NOT attempt to manually remove anything stuck to the eye(s).
Ingestion: If irritation or discomfort occur, obtain medical attention immediately.

Section 8. Reactivity Data
Stability: Stable
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): Oxidizing materials

Section 9. Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
Personal Protection Information (Respiratory, Eye Protection and Protective Glove):
Use of a dust mask is recommended when handling a large quantity of toner or during long term exposure, as with any non-toxic dust.
Engineering Control/Ventilation: None required under intended use.
Work/Hygienic Practice: Inhalation should be minimized as with any non-toxic dust.
Steps to be taken in case of Spill or Leak:
Wipe off with paper or cloth. DO NOT use vacuum cleaner when released a large amount. It, like most finely divided organic powders, may create a dust explosion.
Waste Disposal Method: Preparation (community provisions): Waste may be disposed or incinerated under conditions which meet all federal, state and local environmental regulations.
Contaiminated Packaging: Waste may be disposed or incinerated under conditions which meet all federal, state and local environmental regulations.
