A minimal to mild degree oflung fibrosis was observed in 22% of the rats in the middle(4 mg/m3) exposure group. No pulmonary change wasreported in the lowest (1 mg/m3) exposure group, the mostrelevant level to potential human exposures.Exposure Limits (ACGIH TLV):Inhalable Particulates: 10 mg/m3Respirable Particulates: 3 mg/m3Irritancy: Not available.Sensitivity: Not available.CarcinogenicityIARCCarbon Black: Group 2B “Possible Carcinogen.”This classification is given to chemicals for which thereis inadequate human evidence, but sufficient animalevidence on which to base an opinion ofcarcinogenicity. The classification is based upon thedevelopment of lung tumors in rats receiving chronicinhalation exposure to free carbon black at levels thatinduce particle overload of the lung. Studiesperformed in animal models other than rats did notshow any association between carbon black and lungtumors. Moreover, a two-year cancer bioassay using atypical toner preparation containing carbon blackdemonstrated no association between toner exposureand tumor development in rats.NTP: No components are listed.OSHA: Carbon black is designated hazardous according toOSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200.Reproductive Toxicity: Not available.Teratogenicity: Not available.Mutagenicity: Not available.Names of Toxicologically Synergistic Products: Notavailable.Reactivity Data ________________________Stability: Stable in general.Materials to Avoid: None.Polymerization: Will not occur.Hazardous Decomposition or Byproducts: Combustionproducts include carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.Incompatibility: Avoid exposure to strong oxidizers.Preventive Measures ___________________Personal Protective EquipmentRespiratory Protection: Not normally required.
