    Eyes
    : If particles get into eye, flush thoroughly with water. Seek medical attention if
    symptoms occur.
    Skin
    : Wash thoroughly with soap and water. Seek medical attention if symptoms occur.
    Ingestion
    : Dilute stomach contents with several glasses of water. Seek medical attention if
    symptoms occur.
    Section 5–Fire Fighting Measures
    Flash Point
    : Not applicable
    Fire and Explosion Hazards
    : Toner is a combustible powder. Like most organic powders, it
    can form explosive mixtures when dispersed in air.
    Extinguishing Methods
    : Water, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam.
    Fire Fighting Information
    : Avoid inhalation of smoke. As for any fire, wear protective
    clothing and self­contained breathing apparatus.
    Section 6–Accidental Release Measures
    Spill or leak
    : Sweep up or vacuum spilled materials and carefully transfer into sealable waste
    container. Sweep slowly to minimize generation of dust during clean up. If a vacuum is used,
    the motor must be rated as dust tight. A conductive hose bonded to the machine should be used
    to reduce static buildup. Clean up residue if necessary with soap and cold water. Wash or dry
    clean garments after removing loose toner.
    Section 7–Handling and Storage
    Handling
    : No special precautions, when used as intended.
    Storage
    : Avoid high temperatures.
    Section 8–Exposure Control ­ Personal Protection
    No special personal protection indicated, when used as intended in Xerox Phaser color
    printers.

    Section 11–Toxicological Information
    This material has been evaluated by Xerox Corporation. The toxicity data noted below is based
    on test results of the materials described herein or similar toners.
    Oral LD
    50
    : >5 g/kg (rats), practically non­toxic
    Dermal LD
    50
    : > 5 g/kg (rabbits), practically non­toxic
    Inhalation LC
    50
    : > 5 mg/l (rats; 4 hour exposure), practically non­toxic
    Eye Irritation
    : Not an irritant
    Skin sensitization
    : Not a sensitizer
    Skin irritation
    : Not an irritant
    Mutagenicity
    : No mutagenicity detected in Ames assay
    Carcinogens
    : None present
    Additional Information
    : The results obtained from a Xerox sponsored Chronic Toner
    Inhalation Study demonstrated no lung changes in rats for the lowest (1 mg/m
    3
    ) exposure level
    (i.e., the level most relevant to potential human exposure). A very slight degree of fibrosis was
    noted in 25% of the animals at the middle (4 mg/m
    3
    ) exposure level, while a slight degree of
    fibrosis was noted in all the animals at the highest (16 mg/m
    3
    ) exposure level. The findings are
    attributed to "lung overloading," a generic response to excessive amounts of any dust retained
    in the lungs for a prolonged period. This study was conducted using a special test toner to
    Phaser® 6250 Color Laser Printer
    E­5
    comply with EPA testing protocol. The test toner was ten times more respirable than
    commercially available Xerox toner and would not be functionally suitable for Xerox
    equipment.
