	Section 3: Hazards Identification
Hazard Rating:
FIRE = 1	HEALTH = 1
REACTIVITY = 0	SPECIAL = none

Health Hazards (Acute, Chronic, Immediate and Potential): Minimum irritation to respiratory tract may occur as with exposure to any non-toxic dust. May cause gasping if inhaled. Inhalation should be avoided. May cause temporary eye discomfort.

Health Hazards of Long Term exposure (Chronic): A manufacturer sponsored chronic inhalation study in rats using a special test toner revealed there were no lung changes at all in the lowest exposure level (1mg/m3), the most relevant level to potential human exposures. A very slight degree of fibrosis was noted in 25% of the animals at the middle exposure level (4mg/m3), while a slight degree of fibrosis was observed at the highest exposure level (16mg/m3) in all animals. These findings are attributed to “Lung Overloading”, a generic response to excessive amount of any dust retained in the lungs for a prolonged interval. The special test toner was ten times more respirable than commercially available toner to comply with EPA testing protocol and would not function properly in xerographic equipment.

Section 4: First Aid Measures

Inhalation:	Remove to fresh air if effects occur. Consult	Eye Contact: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with
	local medical personnel	water for 5 minutes.
Skin Contact:	Wash with soap and water.	Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Call a physician.
