Chronic Effect :In a study in rats of chronic inhalation exposure to a typical toner, a mild to moderate 
degree of lung fibrosis was observed in 92% of the rats in the high concentration 
(16mg/m
3) exposure group, and a minimal to mild degree of fibrosis was noted in 22% of 
the animals in the middle (4mg/m
3) exposure group, but no pulmonary change was 
reported in the lowest (1mg/m
3) exposure group, the most relevant level to potential 
human exposures.
