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. 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/m3), 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/m3), while a slight degree of fibrosis was observed at the highest exposure level (16mg/m3) 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.
