Mutagenicity ------------------ The toner, which is included in this developer, has been tested on
Ames test. The result is negative.
Carcinogenicity: In 1996 the IARC reevaluated carbon black as a Group 2B carcinogen (possible human
carcinogen). 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 exposure and tumor
development in rats.
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure:
Minimal irritation to respiratory tract may occur as with exposure to any
non-toxic dust.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure:
None
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Inhalation; Remove to fresh air. If effects occur, consult medical personnel.
Eye;
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with water for 15 minutes.
