3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Emergency Overview: Black powder (mean dia. is 10 - 20um by volume ). Almost oderless. Classification: Not classified as dangerous. (1999/45/EC) Most Important Hazards and Effects of the Products Ingestion Effect: None currently known. Inhalation Effect: None currently known. Minimal respiratory tract irritation may occur as with exposure to large amount of any non-toxic dust. Eye Effect: None currently known. Skin Effect: None currently known. Chronic Effects: Prolonged inhalation of excessive dusts may cause lung damage. Use of this product, as intended, does not result in inhalation of excessive dust. Environment Hazards: No data are available on the adverse effects of this product on the environment. Specific Hazards: Dust explosion(like most finely divided organic powders) FIRST-AID MEASURES Ingestion: Wash out mouth with water. Drink one or two glasses of water. If symptoms occur, get medical attention. Inhalation: Move victim to fresh air immediately. If symptoms occur, get medical attention. Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for 15 minutes. If symptoms occur, get medical attention. Skin Contact: Wash with water and mild soap. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Suitable Extinguishing Media: CO2, water spray, foam and dry chemical Extinguishing Media to Avoid: Full water jet Fire and Explosion Hazards: If dispersed in air, like most finely divided organic powders, may form an explosive mixture. Protection of Firefighters: Use self-contained breathing apparatus(SCBA). ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal Precautions: None Environmental Precautions: None Methods for Cleaning Up: Wear personal protective equipment(See Section 8). Vacuum or sweep material and place in a bag and hold for waste disposal. Use vacuum equipped with High Efficiency Particulate Air(HEPA) filter. Vacuum should be electrically bonded and grounded to dispel static electricity. To avoid dust generation, do not sweep dry.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Acute Toxicity: Ingestion(oral), LD50(mg/kg): >5000(Rat) * Dermal, LD50(mg/kg): >2000(Rat) * Inhalation, LC50(mg/l): >0.41(Rat,4hour) * (This was the highest attainable concentration.) Eye irritation: Mild irritant(Rabbit) * Skin irritation: Non irritant(Rabbit) * Skin sensitizer: No data available Local Effects: see Chronic Toxicity or Long term Toxicity Chronic Toxicity or Long Term Toxicity: In a two-year inhalation study of chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity using a typical toner in rats, there were no lung changes at all in the lowest exposure level (1mg/m3), the most relevant level to potential human exposures. A minimal to mild degree of fibrosis was noted in 22% of the animals at the middle exposure level (4mg/m3), and a mild to moderate degree of fibrosis was observed in 92% of the rats at the highest exposure level(16mg/m3). The lung changes observed in the higher exposure groups are interpreted in terms of "lung overloading", a series of generic responses to the presence of large quantities of respirable, insoluble and relatively benign dusts retained for extended time periods in the lungs. Lung tumor frequency was unchanged among rats exposed to toner at the three exposure levels, and for air-only control rats. Carcinogenicity In 1996 the IARC reevaluated carbon black as a Group 2B carcinogen (possible human carcinogen). This evaluation is given to Carbon Black for which there is inadequate human evidence, but sufficient animal evidence. The latter is based upon the development of lung tumors in rats receiving chronic inhalation exposures to free carbon black at levels that induce particle overload of the lung. Studies performed in animal models other than rats have not demonstrated an association between carbon black and lung tumors. Moreover, a two-year cancer bioassay using a typical toner preparation containing carbon black demonstrated no association between toner exposure and tumor development in rats. Mutagenicity: Negative *(AMES test) Teratogenicity: No data available (*= Based on data for other Konica Minolta Products with similar ingredients)
