Health Hazards:
1. Styrene-Butyl Acrylate Copolymer
Subcutaneous implantation of polymeric styrene
powder in rats has induced tumors at the site of
implantation.
2. Carbon black

Overexposure to carbon black is associated with
causing irritation, conjunctivitis, and corneal hypopla-
sia of the eyes; minor irritation and eczema of the
skin; and throat irritation and bronchitis.
Long-term inhalation exposure may be associated
with causing lung cancer.
