3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Most Important Hazards and Effects of the Products
Human Health Effects:There are no anticipated carcinogenic effects from exposure based on animal tests 
performed using toner. When used as intended according to instructions, studies do 
not indicate any symptoms of fibrosis will occur.
Environmental Effects:No data are available.
Specific Hazards : Dust explosion (like most finely divided organic powders)
Directive 1999/45/EC(Europe): Not classified as dangerous
4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Route(s) of Entry : Inhalation?Skin?Ingestion?
Yes No Possible but very unusual.
Inhalation :Remove to fresh air. If symptoms occur, consult medical personnel.
Skin Contact :Wash with soap and water for 15 minutes or until particle is removed. 
If irritation does occur, consult medical personnel.
Eye Contact :Flush eyes immediately with water for 15 minutes. If irritation does occur, consult medical 
personnel.
Ingestion :Rinse with water and drink several glasses of water . If irritation or discomfort does occur, consult 
medical personnel.
5. FIRE –FIGHTING MEASURES
 Extinguishing Media :Water, CO2, foam and dry chemicals
 Special Fire fighting Procedures :None
 Fire and Explosion Hazards :Toner material, like most finely divided organic powders, may form an 
explosive mixture.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions :None
Environmental Precautions :None
Methods for Cleaning Up :Wipe off with paper or cloth. Do not use vacuum cleaner when a large 
amount is released. It, like most finely divided organic powders, is capable of 
creating a dust explosion.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Technical Measures:None
Precautions:None
Safe Handling Advice: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. Try not to disperse the particles.

Eye irritation:Not an irritant (Rabbits)
Skin irritation:Not an irritant (Rabbits)
Skin sensitizer:No sensitization
Mutagenicity :Negative (Ames Test)
Carcinogenicity :In 1996 the IARC reevaluated carbon black as a Group 2B 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.Page: 3/4

Chronic 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 pulmonary change was 
reported in the lowest (1mg/m
3) exposure group, the most relevant level to potential 
human exposures.
