=Health:= If you inhale carbon black it may result in you having permenant or temporary damage to the heart and lungs. There have been many health releated injuries caused by carbon black. One disease called Pneumoconiosis was found in workers working with carbon black. There have also been skin conditions found such as inflammation of the hair follicles and oral mucosal lesions.

Some carbon compounds are very toxic such as carbon monoxide or cyanide.

Most of what we eat is made of compounds of carbon. We eat about 300g's of carbon a day. The carbon gets broken down into molecules and then the energy from them gets released.
