SECTION 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
This material has been evaluated by Xerox Corporation. The toxicity data noted below is based on test results of similar toners.
Oral LD50: >5 g/kg (rats), practically
Dermal LD50: > 5 g/kg (rabbits), practically
Inhalation LC50: > 5 mg/l (rats; 4 hour exposure), practically
Inhalation LC50: > 20 mg/l (rats; calculated for 1 hour exposure),
Eye Irritation: Not an irritant
Skin sensitization: Not a sensitizer
Skin irritation: Not an irritant
Human Patch:
Mutagenicity: No mutagenicity detected in Ames assay
Carcinogens: None present
Additional Information: The results obtained from a Xerox sponsored Chronic Toner Inhalation Study demonstrated no lung changes 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 percent 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. The 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 Xerox toner and would not be functionally suitable for Xerox equipment.
