WARNING:  Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other 

construction activities, contains chemicals known [to the State of California] 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 or other masonry products

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, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter 

out microscopic particles. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5,
