Carcinogenicity: Carbon Black: In 1996, the IARC re-evaluated 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.
Other ingredients of this product have not been classified as carcinogens according to IARC monographs, NTP and OSHA.
