Is copier toner bad for you (toxic)? Why...?

We just got new toner for our konica Minolta copier. When I was disposing of the old toner a black cloud of dust fell all over me and the floor. My boss was freaking out saying that toner is extremelly toxic. Is it really bad that I got it on my skin? What can happen ?? Any information will help. ThanksIs copier toner bad for you (toxic)? Why...?
You really don't want to be breathing a great deal of it. It is a very fine plastic dust. It is toxic. Breathing a little bit, not going to hurt you, however don;t make a habit of it.





By the way, the plastic used in a carcinogen.
