Carcinogenicity: In 1996 the IARC reevaluated carbon black as a Group 2B carcinogen (possible
human carcinogen). This classification is given to chemicals for which there is inade-
quate human evidence, but sufficient animal evidence on which to base an opinion
of carcinogenicity. The classification is based upon the development of lung tumors
in rats receiving chronic inhalation exposures to free carbon black at levels that induce
particle overload of the lung. Studies performed in animal models other than rats
did not show any association between carbon black and lung tumors.
Moreover, a two-year cancer bioassay using a typical toner preparation containingDGB
carbon black demonstrated no association between toner exposure and tumor
development in rats.
Chronic Effects In a study in rats of chronic inhalation exposure to a typical toner, a mild to moderate:
3
degree of lung fibrosis was observed in 92% of the rats in the high concentration (16m)g/m
exposure group, and a minimal to mild degree of fibrosis was noted in 22% of the
3
animals in the middle (4mg/m) exposure group, but no pulmonary change was
3
reported in the lowest (1mg/m) exposure group, the most relevant level to potential
human exposures.
