Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these
chemicals are:
=
lead from lead=based paints,
=
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
=
arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures
varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved
safety equipment,
always
wear NIOSH/OSHA
approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator when using such tools.
