11. Toxicology and Health Hazards
Routes Of Overexposure: Eye, skin, inhalation, and oral
Acute Health Hazards:
Overexposure of eye surface to toner may be mildly irritating
Overexposure of skin to toner contact may cause irritation and in some people swelling and redness
Intentional inhalation overexposure to toner may result in respiratory tract irritation
Intentional or accidental oral ingestion may cause an upset stomach
Chronic Health Hazards: Use of this product, as intended, does not result in inhalation of fugitive excessive
dust. In an inhalation study with rats chronically exposed to a typical developer, a
mild to moderate degree of lung fibrosis was observed in approximately 90% of rats
in the high concentration exposure group (16mg/cubic meter), and a minimal to mid
degree of fibrosis was noted in approximately 20% of the animal in the middle
exposure group (4mg/cubic meter). But no pulmonary change was reported in the
lowest exposure group (1mg/cubic meter), the most relevant level to potential
human exposure.
Carcinogenicity: With excessive exposure, carbon black has been listed as a possible human
carcinogen. However, as engineered within this toner cartridge, emissions to air of
carbon black during normal printing use has not been found. IARC, the
International Agency for Research on Cancer, has found printing toners to be not
classifiable as human carcinogens.
Titanium dioxide is classified as “possibly carcinogenic to humans” (Group 2B). In
animal chronic inhalation studies, the tumor formulation observed in only rats with
animal chronic inhalation 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.
Epidemiological studies to date have not revealed any evidence of the relation
between exposure to titanium dioxide and diseases of the respiratory tract beyond
the general effects of dust.
