Local Effects: see Chronic Toxicity or Long term Toxicity
Chronic Toxicity or Long Term Toxicity: Prolonged inhalation of excessive dust may cause lung damage.
It is attributed to "lung overloading", a generic response to excessive amounts of any
dust retained in the lungs for a prolonged interval. Use of this product, as intended,
does not result in inhalation of excessive dust.
In a study in rats by chronic inhalation exposure to a typical toner, a mild to moderate degree of
lung fibrosis was observed in 92% of rats in the high concentration(16mg/m
3
) exposure group,
and a minimal to mild degree of fibrosis was noted in 22% of the animals in the middle(4mg/m
3
)
exposure group. But no pulmonary change was reported in the lowest(1mg/m
3
) exposure group,
the most relevant level to potential human exposures.
Carcinogenicity
IARC Monographs: Not listed
NTP(USA): Not listed
OSHA Regulated(USA): Not listed
In 1996 the IARC reevaluated carbon black as a Group 2B carcinogen (possible human
carcinogen). This valuation is given to Carbon Black for which there is inadequate human
evidence, but sufficient animal evidence. The latter 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 have not demonstrated an 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.
