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.
Preparation Date: October 25, 1998
2. Carbon black
(Group 2B Possible Carcinogen; IARC)
Overexposure to carbon black is associated with causing irritation,
conjunctivitis, and cornealhypoplasia of the eyes; minor
irritation and eczema of the skin; and throat irritation and bronchitis.
Long-term inhalation exposure may be associated with
causing lung cancer.
3. Paraffin Wax
(Group 3 Not Classifiable; IARC)
May cause eye, skin, respiratory, and digentive tract irritation.
Paraffin is an equivocal tumorgenic 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.
