8.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities contain chemicals known to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
•
Lead from lead based paint.
•
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry
products.
•
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure 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
face or dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
