SUPPLEMENTAL HEALTH INFORMATION
Acute oral toxicity:
LD50 is greater than 2,000mg/kg.
(This was the highest attainable mass.)
Acute inhalation:
LC50(4H) is in excess of 5.13mg/l.
(This was the highest attainable concentration.)
Eye irritation:
Non-irritant.
Skin irritation:
Non-irritant.
Skin sensitization:
Non-sensitiser.
Mutagenicity:
Negative in the Ames test.
Carcinogenicity:
In 1996, the IARC classified carbon black
as a Group 2B carcinogen (possible human carcinogen).
Chronic Effects:
In a study in rats by chronic inhalation
exposure to a typical toner, a mild to moderate degree of lung
fibrosis was observed in 92 % of the rats in the high
concentration (16 mg/m3)exposure group, and a minimal to
mild degree of fibrosis was noted in 22% of the animals in the
middle (4 mg/m3) exposure group. These findings are
attributed to "lung overloading", a general response to
excessive amounts of any dust retained in the lungs for a
prolonged period.
