The combustion chamber insulation in this product contains ceramic fiber material. Ceramic
fibers can be converted to cristobalite in very high temperature applications. The International
Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has concluded, “Crystalline silica inhaled in the form of
quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources is carcinogenic to humans (Group 1).”
•
Avoid breathing dust and contact with skin and eyes.
•
Use NIOSH certified dust respirator (N95). This type of respirator is based on the OSHA
requirements for cristobalite at the time this document was written. Other types of respirators may
be needed depending on job site conditions. Current NIOSH recommendations can be found on the
NIOSH website: http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/homepage.html. NIOSH approved respirators,
manufacturers, and phone numbers are also listed on this website.
