Ilumina GL Users Guide 99
In a study in rats of chronic inhalation exposure to a typical toner, a mild to moderate
degree of lung
fi
brosis was observed in 92% of the rats in the high concentration (16
mg/m3) exposure group. A minimal to mild degree of lung
fi
brosis was observed in
22% of the rats in the middle (4 mg/m3) exposure group. No pulmonary change was
reported in the lowest (1 mg/m3) exposure group, the most relevant level to potential
human exposures.
