Section 4: Hazards Identification and First Aid Measures
Potential Health Effects:
Toner and developer powders are encased in a cartridge. Minimal exposure through inhalation or skin contact is
expected when used as intended. Potential health effects are expected to be negligible and there are no known
medical conditions that are aggravated by exposure to this product. There are no known chronic effects. Sign of
exposure is minor irritation to respiratory tract.
a. Dust Inhalation: Remove person from exposure and provide fresh air. Seek medical attention if symptoms
occur.
b. Eye Contact: If particles get into eye, flush thoroughly with water. Seek medical attention if symptoms occur.
c. Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water. Seek medical attention if symptoms occur. Remove
contaminated clothing.
d. Ingestion: Rinse mouth and drink large volumes of water. Seek prompt medical attention. Induce vomiting
only after recent ingestion due to the possibility of seizures.
Section 5: Combustion
a. Flash point: Not applicable
b. Fire and Explosion Hazards: Toner is a combustible powder. Like most organic powders, it can form explosive
mixtures when dispersed in air.
c. Extinguishing media: Water, dry chemicals, carbon dioxide, foam.
d. Fire Fighting Instructions: Avoid inhalation of smoke. As for any fire, wear protective clothing and self-
contained breathing apparatus.
