Health Hazards (Acute, Chronic, Immediate and Potential): Minimum irritation to respiratory tract may occur as with exposure to any
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/m 3), 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/m 3), while a slight degree of fibrosis was observed at the highest exposure level (16mg/m 3) 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.
