Prolonged or repeated overexposure to airborne glass dust can lead to inflammation and scarring of lung tissue. IARC: In 1995 IARC concluded, “There is inadequate evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of carbon black.” Based on rat inhalation studies IARC concluded that there is, “sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of carbon black,” IARC’s overall evaluation was that, “Carbon black is possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B)”. This conclusion was based on IARC’s guidelines, which require such a classification if one species exhibits carcinogenicity in two or more studies. IARC performed another review in 2006, and again classified carbon black as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B). In its 1987 review IARC concluded, “There is sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of carbon black extracts.” Carbon black extracts are classified as, possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B).
