Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Spill / leak Procedures: If spilled, sweep up using an approved toner vacuum with a 0.5 micron filter or smaller, such as the Atrix
AAA Toner Vacuum or 3M Toner Vacuum. Use of a vacuum cleaner not rated for toner particles, could result in a fire or personal
injury. Remove residue with soap and cold water.
Miscellaneous: Keep product out of sewers and watercourses.
Personal protection: Avoid inhalation of dust.

Acute oral toxicity:
LD50
>5000mg/kg
Acute inhalation effects: LC50 (4H)
is in excess of 5.37 mg/l (this was the highest attainable concentration.
Special effects: Carcinogenicity
: In 1996 the IARC reclassified Carbon Black as a Group 2B carcinogen (possible human
carcinogen). This evaluation is given to carbon black for which there is inadequate human evidence, but sufficient animal
evidence. The latter 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 have not
demonstrated an association between carbon black and lung tumors. Moreover, 2-years cancer bioassay using a typical toner
preparation containing carbon black did not demonstrate an association between toner exposure and tumor development in rats.
