Question: Which adverse health effects have been attributed by some to so-called “carbonless carbon paper”?
Answer: The cited reference notes: “According to available data, exposure to certain types of carbonless copy paper or its components has resulted, under some conditions, in mild to moderate symptoms of skin irritation and irritation of the mucosal membranes of the eyes and upper respiratory tract. In most cases, good industrial hygiene and work practices should be adequate to reduce or eliminate symptoms. These include adequate ventilation, humidity, and temperature controls; proper housekeeping; minimal hand-to-mouth and hand-to-eye contact; and periodic cleansing of hands.” (https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2001-107/;accessed; January 2017)
