Acute Toxicity
Acute Oral Toxicity (LD50) :
5000 or over [mg/kg] (Rat) (Based on other product test results of similar ingredients.)

Not available

(d)Numerical measures of toxicity (such as acute toxicity estimates)
Not available

(e)Whether the hazardous chemical is listed in the National Toxicology Program (NTP)
  Report on Carcinogens (latest edition) or has been found to be a potential carcinogen
  in the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Monographs (latest edition), or by OSHA.
Carbon black and titanium dioxide contained in this product are classified to Group 2B of IARC as the result of inhalation test in use of rat.
But oral/skin test does not show carcinogenicity.
The toner containing carbon black did not show carcinogenicity in chronic inhalation exposure test in use of rat.
In the animal experiment with very high concentration of titanium dioxide (excessive burden of rat’s lungs clearance mechanism (overload phenomenon)), the rat alone showed lung tumor. Under a normal use practice, the concentration should be far lower than the above; and it is assumed that there is no such use.
Also, relation between respiratory disease and work exposure of titanium dioxide is not observed with epidemiological survey.
