Emergency Information (US and Canada only)
: call
1-800-654-3282.
Emergency First Aid Procedures ___________
Toner swallowed (ingested).
Rinse out mouth with water and give several glasses of water
to drink. Seek medical attention.
Toner inhaled.
Remove person to fresh air. Rinse mouth with water.
Toner gets in the eyes.
Flush eyes with large quantities of cool water for 15 minutes,
keeping the eyelids open with fingers. Seek medical attention.
Toner gets on the skin.
Wash toner off the skin with plenty of cool water and soap.
Note:
Small amounts of toner on skin or clothing can
easily be removed with soap and
cold
water. Hot
water makes toner harder to remove.

Toxicological Properties _________________
Routes of Entry:
Inhalation, Ingestion, Eyes, Skin
Effects of Acute Exposure
(based on toxicity data for
similar materials and ingredients):
Swallowed LD50 (rat):
> 5.0 g/kg
Skin LD50 (rabbit):
> 5.0 g/kg
Inhaled LC50 (rat):
> 5 mg/L/4hr
Effects of Chronic Exposure
(based on toxicity data for
similar materials and ingredients): The results obtained from
a sponsored, Chronic Toner Inhalation Study, demonstrated
no lung change in rats for the lowest (1 mg/m3) exposure
level (i.e. the level most relevant to potential human
exposure).
A very slight degree of fibrosis was noted in 25% of the
animals at the middle (4 mg/m3) exposure level, while a
slight degree of fibrosis was noted in all the animals at the
highest (16 mg/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 EPA
testing protocol. The test toner was ten times more
respirable than commercially available Oki toner, and would
not be functionally suitable for Oki equipment.
Exposure Limits, ACGIH TLV†:
Total:
10 mg/m3
Respirable:
3 mg/m3
Irritancy:
Not an irritant.†
Sensitization (skin, guinea pig):
Not a sensitizer.†
Carcinogenicity: Not classified as “Carcinogens” †
IARC: Refer to IARC Monographs on the Evaluation
Carcinogenic Risks to Humans (WHO International
Agency for Research on cancer).
NTP: Refer to National Toxicology Program (NTP)
Report on Carcinogens (NTP).
OSHA: Not available.
