I am using a chisel to remove the black backing that is stuck onto the wooden stairs. This stuff is turning into black powder was I work. Is this safe to do? I am wearing a mask. Can I sell it with a shelack primer so it does not bleed through to new carpet?

First question would be why you need to remove it? Is new carpet going over it? If so and it's flat, uniform, why not leave it. With new pad and carpet it should be fine.
Details, details, details. Posters from that hack group, HomeMoanersHub, always leave them out; seems to be their hallmark.
Do you know about Johnny Carson's 3 wives?
Nope, but I do believe all of them were named JoAnne if I'm not mistaken.
Joan, JoAnne, and JoAnna.

She will give you a shellacking
All brunettes, too.
Dust should not harm you but rule of thumb is if there is a dust haze, a dust mask should be used.
I had the same problem on stairs and a vinyl floor and scraped up what I could and just had new carpet and backing laid over it.
