11. Toxicology and Health Hazards
Routes Of Overexposure
: Eye, skin, inhalation, and oral
Acute Health Hazards
:
•
Overexposure of eye surface to ink may be mildly irritating
•
Overexposure of skin to ink contact may cause irritation and in some people swelling and redness
•
Intentional inhalation overexposure to ink vapors may result in respiratory tract irritation and anesthesia
•
Intentional or accidental oral ingestion may cause an upset stomach
Chronic Health Hazards
:
None
known
Carcinogenicity
:
With excessive exposure, carbon black has been listed as a possible human
carcinogen. However, as engineered within this ink 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 inks to be not
classifiable as human carcinogens as group 3.
