Carcinogenicity : Mutagenicity : Toxicity for Reproduction : Other Information : Toxicokinetics, Metabolism : and Distribution No test data available. 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 inadequate 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 product containing carbon black demonstrated no association between toner exposure and tumor development in rats. IARC has issued a notice that they will publish a monograph that lists titanium dioxide (TiO2) as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B) by inhalation (based solely on animal data). Human epidemiology studies do not suggest an increased risk of cancer in humans for occupational exposure to titanium dioxide. IARC stated that exposure levels are assumed to be lower in the user industries, with the possible exception of workers who handle large quantities of titanium dioxide. No significant exposure to titanium dioxide is thought to occur during the use of products in which titanium dioxide is bound to other materials, such as in paints. 2) Based on the result of Ames test (Salmonella typhimurium TA98,TA100,TA1535,TA1537, E.coli WP2 uvrA), this product has negative mutagenicity. 1) No test data available.
