Carcinogenicity
IARC
Carbon Black:
Group 2B “Possible 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 exposure 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. Moreover, a two-year cancer bioassay using
a typical toner preparation containing carbon black
demonstrated no association between toner exposure
and tumor development in rats.
NTP:
No components are listed.
OSHA:
Carbon black is designated hazardous according to
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200.

Spill Cleanup
Small Spills
1. Remove sources of ignition.
2. Carefully clean up the spill with a wet cloth, avoiding
inhalation of fine dust.
Large Spills
1. Remove sources of ignition and keep unnecessary and
unprotected personnel away from area.
2. Wear protective gear: dust respirator mask, leather
gloves, safety goggles.
3. Vacuum or sweep the material into a bag or other
sealed container, then wipe up remainder with a wet
cloth.
Waste Disposal
• Prevent release of material into natural waters and
sewers.
• Follow appropriate federal, state and local regulations.
• Small amounts can be incinerated.
• Careful! Combustion can create harmful gases such as
carbon monoxide.
• Large amounts must be passed to a licensed waste
contractor.
