Carcinogenicity :
In 1996 the IARC reevaluated carbon black as a Group 2B carcinogen (possible human carcino-gen).
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.While there have been no studies to date
using developer, a two-year cancer bioassay using a typical toner preparation containing carbon black
(a small amount of toner is included in the developer mixture) demonstrated no association between
toner exposureand tumor development in rats.
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure :
Minimal irritation to respiratory tract may occur as withexposure to any non-toxic dust.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure : None
