Potential health effects
Routes of exposure Potential routes of overexposure to this product are skin and eye contact
Inhalation of vapor and ingestion are not expected to be significant routes of exposure for this
product under normal use conditions.
Complete toxicity data are not available for this specific formulation
space
Chronic health effects Carbon Black: Chronic inhalation studies performed with fine dust particles resulted in lung
tumors in animals. The IARC classification was based upon these results. IARC also concluded
"there is inadequate evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of carbon black." Inhalation of
fine dust particles is not expected to occur during normal conditions of use of this ink.
space
Carcinogenicity Carbon black is classified by the IARC as a Group 2B carcinogen (the substance is possibly
carcinogenic to humans). None of the other ingredients in this preparation are classified as
carcinogens according to ACGIH, EU, IARC, MAK, NTP or OSHA.
