Exposure Guidelines
Other information
The results obtained from Chronic Toner Inhalation Study
demonstrated no lung changes in rats for the lowest (1mg/m3)
exposure level (the level most relevant to potential human exposure).
A very slight degree of fibrosis was noted in 25% of animals at the
middle (4mg/m3) exposure level, while a slight degree of fibrosis was
noted in all the animals at the highest (16mg/m3) exposure level.
These findings are attributed to "lung overloading", a generic
response to excessive amounts of any dust retained in the lungs for a
prolonged period. This study was conducted using a special test toner
to comply with an EPA testing protocol.
