I wish I knew the answer to this question. While serving in the Military, U.S. Air Force in the Philippine Islands in the 1950's, I had to separate paper from the carbon sheets which was between the paper and place in large trash barrels. This was Hugh amounts of carbon paper and had to be done each day and it took several hours to complete the job. I was not given any mask to cover my nose or mouth, nor was I given any gloves while handling these items. After a while all you could taste was carbon and that lasting for several house after completing the job. I often wondered if I had any chance of contacting some disease from all of this stuff. Currently I have many Allergies from food and pollen, don't know if that was a result of all of that or not. Also don't know if I may have something from it in the future.

What Carbon and polymer particles used in laser printers and photocopiers to form the text and images on a printed page?
Toner is a powder used in laser printers and photocopiers to form the text and images on the printed paper. In its early form it was simply carbon powder. Then, to improve the quality of the printout the carbon was blended with a polymer.

Can you die from the fumes from burned paper?
Inhaling fumes from burning paper can cause irritation to the respiratory system and may lead to shortness of breath, coughing, and headaches. While inhaling large quantities of burned paper fumes can be harmful, it is unlikely to be fatal unless in an enclosed space with limited ventilation.
How do you separate copper strips from sulfur powder?
To separate copper strips from sulfur powder, you can use a process called filtration. Mix the copper strips and sulfur powder with water to form a mixture. Then, pass the mixture through a filter paper to separate the solid copper strips from the sulfur powder, which will remain in the filter paper.
How do you transfer powder substance?
Chemists usually scoop powder out of their containers onto little squares of wax paper called "weighing paper" that they know the weight of before adding the powder. They can then weight the powder and paper together, subtract the paper's weight, and arrive at how much powder is on the paper. The powder can then be moved around on the paper and poured to wherever you need it. If you need a more accurate measurement or the substance is toxic, you can always weigh the container you want it in, "zero" your scale to this weight, and add your desired amount of powder. I always put a crease on my weighing paper along the diagonal of the square to make pouring easier after measurement.
Can filter paper separate chalk powder?
No, filter paper is not suitable for separating chalk powder. Chalk powder is insoluble in water, so it will not pass through the filter paper when mixed with water. To separate chalk powder from water, you can use techniques like sedimentation or decantation.
What types of paper are used for multi-form sheets?
Carbon paper and "no carbon required" paper - otherwise known as "action paper".
What is the history of carbon copy?
A carbon copy is made by using carbon paper. Carbon paper is a very thin sheet of paper coated on one side with a film of carbon in suspension. The carbon paper is placed between two sheets of paper when intending to write or type (with a typewriter) on one of the sheets and to produce a duplicate of the writing on the second sheet of paper. It is important to have the carbon side of the carbon paper resting on the paper that will be the duplicate. The term "carbon copy" (abbreviated cc) is used to indicate the duplicate. Now, when it is possible to create duplicate copies by other means, the term "carbon copy" continues to be used to refer to the duplicate copies.
What are the periodic elemets of paper?
Carbon! Carbon is a basic of all living thing. Tree does too and wood is only carbon. So paper is made of carbon.
Carbon Paper?
Carbon paper is a thin paper coated with carbon or a similar pigment on one side. It is used to make copies of handwritten or typed documents by placing it between the original and a blank sheet of paper and applying pressure while writing or typing. The pressure causes the carbon coating to transfer the text onto the blank sheet underneath.
What is the reaction with litmus paper in carbon?
Carbon itself is not reactive with litmus paper as it is a non-metal element. Litmus paper is typically used to test for the presence of acids or bases. Carbon does not have acidic or basic properties, so it does not cause a visible change in litmus paper.
