Additional Information: The results obtained from a Xerox' sponsored Chronic Toner Inhalation Study demonstrated no lung change in rats for the lowest (1mg/m3) exposure level (such as, the level most relevant to potential human exposure). A very slight degree of fibrosis was noted in 25 percent of the animals at the highest (16mg/m3) exposure level. These 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 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.
