Do erasers contain carbon?

Yes, conventional pencil, pen, and chalkboard erasers all contain carbon as they are made of organic materials. However at one time there was a typewriter eraser made of a bundle of fiberglass inside a pen like housing, being made of glass (an inorganic material) they contained no carbon. These erasers however generated thousands of tiny airborne particles of glass when they were used, these glass particles could be inhaled causing health hazards and produced intense itching on contact with the skin. For these reasons they are no longer manufactured.


What do you call the residue left by pencil erasers after you use them?

There are many different names for this. The most common among artists seem to be "eraser residue" or "eraser dust". I've also heard it called "eraser crumbs", which probably comes from the use of bread crumbs to erase prior to the discovery of rubber as an effective eraser. Some people have their own names for it too, such are eraser "bits", "shavings" and "leavings".
