Additional Information: The results obtained from a Xerox-sponsored Chronic Toner
Inhalation Study demonstrated no lung change in rats for the lowest (1 mg/m
exposure level (i.e. the level most relevant to potential human exposure). A very
slight degree of fibrosis was noted in 25 percent of the animals at the middle

(4 mg/m ) exposure level, while a slight degree of fibrosis was noted in all the
animals at the highest (16 mg/m
"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.
