3. Hazard Identification

3.1 Emergency Overview: Toner is a moist magenta powder that may cause eye irritation. Avoid contact with eyes or clothing. In the case of skin contact, wash with soap and water. Keep out of reach of

3.2 Potential Health Effects: children.

Eyes: Toner contact with eye may be mildly irritating. See Section 11 for Toxicology.

Skin: Toner contact with skin may cause irritation, swelling, or redness. It is not expected to cause an allergic skin reaction. See Section 11 for Toxicology.

Inhalation: Intentional exposure to toner may cause respiratory irritation. See Section 11 for Toxicology.

Ingestion: May cause upset stomach. See Section 11 for Toxicology.

4. First Aid Measures

4.1 Eyes: Immediately flush with room temperature, low pressure, clean water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if eye irritation continues.

4.2 Skin: Wash surface areas with soap and water. Wash soiled clothing before rewearing. Seek medical attention if irritation continues.

4.3 Inhalation: Remove subject to ventilated fresh air. Consult physician if necessary or if cough develops.

4.4 Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Seek medical attention if stomach continues to be upset.

5. Fire Fighting Measures

5.1 Flammability: Flash point is greater than 230

°F / 110 °C (closed cup in accordance with ASTM

D3278)

5.2 Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical or carbon dioxide

5.3 Fire Fighting Instructions: No special fire fighting procedures are required other than breathing apparatus. No special explosion hazards are known.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Shut off ignition sources. If a spill occurs, use moist sponges to wipe-up toner, then rinse area with damp cloth.

Place waste in closed container for disposal. Use proper ventilation. Do not dispose of waste to the sewer. No eye or skin protection required during clean-up if toner is not dispersed into air. Wash hands with soap and water.

7. Precautions for Safe Handling and Use

Keep out of reach of children, do not dismantle, and do not incinerate cartridge. Keep cartridge in dark, cool, dry, and well ventilated area. Do not store cartridges with oxidizing agents. Make sure cartridge is dry before insertion into printer housing. Avoid dispersing toner.

8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

8.1 Engineering Controls: None required when cartridges are used as intended

8.2 Exposure Controls: None required when cartridges are used as intended. Otherwise,

ACGIH TLV (2003): 10mg/cubic meter (total)

3mg/cubic meter (respirable)

8.3 Personal Protection: None required when cartridges are used as intended

11. Toxicology and Health Hazards

Routes Of Overexposure: Eye, skin, inhalation, and oral

Acute Health Hazards:

• Overexposure of eye surface to toner may be mildly irritating

•

Overexposure of skin to toner contact may cause irritation and in some people swelling and redness

• Intentional or accidental inhalation overexposure to toner may result in respiratory tract irritation

• Intentional or accidental oral ingestion may cause an upset stomach

Chronic Health Hazards: Use of this product, as intended, does not result in inhalation of fugitive excessive dust. In an

inhalation study with rats chronically exposed to a typical developer, a mild to moderate degree

of lung fibrosis was observed in approximately 90% of rats in the high concentration exposure group

(16mg/cubic meter), and a minimal to mid degree of fibrosis was noted in approximately 20% of the

animal in the middle exposure group (4mg/cubic meter). But no pulmonary change was reported in

the lowest exposure group (1mg/cubic meter), the most relevant level to potential human

exposure.

Carcinogenicity: With excessive exposure, carbon black has been listed as a possible human carcinogen.

However, as engineered within this toner cartridge, emissions to air of carbon black

during normal printing use have not been found. IARC, the International Agency for

Research on Cancer, has found printing toners to be not classifiable as human

carcinogens.
