Health Hazards Data
Routes of Entry: Inhalation, Ingestion, Eyes, Skin.
1. Styrene-Butyl Acrylate Copolymer
Subcutaneous implantation of polymeric styrene
powder in rats has induced tumors at the site of
implantation.
2. Carbon black
(Group 2B "Possible Carcinogen"; IARC)
Overexposure to carbon black is associated with
causing irritation, conjunctivitis, and corneal
hypoplasia of the eyes; minor irritation and eczema
of the skin; and irritation and bronchitis. Long-term
inhalation exposure may be associated with causing
lung cancer.
3. Polypropylene
(Group 3 "Not Classifiable"; IARC)
Subcutaneous implantation of polypropylene powder
in rats has induced tumors at the site of implantation.
