Health Hazard Data
Routes of Entry: Inhalation, Ingestion, Eyes, Skin.
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
(Group 2B “Possible Carcinogen”; IARC)
Overexposure to carbon black is associated with causing irritation, conjunctivitis, and corneal hypoplasia of the eyes; minor irritation and eczema of the skin; and irritation and bronchitis.
3. Paraffin Wax
(Group 3 “Not Classifiable”; IARC)
May cause eye, skin, respiratory, and digestive tract irritation. Paraffin is an equivocal tumori- genic agent by RTECS criteria.
4.Amorphous Fumed Silica (Group 3 “Not Classifiable”; IARC)
Overexposure to amorphous silica has been associated with causing irritation of the lungs and pneumoconiosis. Long term inhalation exposure may be associated with producing tumors in laboratory animals.
