3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
0
Contact with strong oxidizers or exposure to temperatures greater than 400 F may cause a fire. Smoke may
contain carbon monoxide, aldehydes, and other toxic materials. Airborne wood and resin dust may explode
when combined with an ignition source.

EYE: Dust may irritate the eyes.
SKIN: Dust may cause skin irritation.
INGESTION: Not known.
INHALATION: Dust can cause irritation to mucous membranes and the upper respiratory tract. Wood dust and
formaldehyde are considered carcinogens.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: For dust exposure, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
SKIN: Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
INGESTION: Consult a physician.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air, consult a physician.
NOTE TO PHYSICIANS: Exposure to dust may aggravate symptoms of persons with pre-existing respiratory
tract conditions and may cause skin and gastrointestinal symptoms.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES:
Flash point: Not applicable.
Combustible: Material may burn on contact with oxidizers or ignition sources.
FLAMMABLE LIMITS:
Lower flammable limit: Not applicable.
Upper flammable limit: Not applicable.
o
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: Typically 400-500 F.
EXPLOSION HAZARD: Airborne concentrations of combustible dust, when combined with an ignition source,
3
can create an explosion hazard if the dust concentration exceeds 30 - 60 g/m .
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, aldehydes,
cyanides, and other hazardous gases, vapors, and particles.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water, dry chemical and other agents rated for a wood fire (Type A fire). Use an
extinguisher rated for a Type A fire.
FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Evacuate the area and notify the fire department. If possible isolate the fire
by moving other combustible materials. If the fire is small, use a hose-line or extinguisher rated for a Type A
fire. If possible, dike and collect water used to fight fires. Fire fighters should wear normal protective
equipment (full bunker gear) and positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Does not apply.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: Provide ventilation or other measures so that dust levels are below the exposure limits listed in
Section 2.
STORAGE: Keep dust away from ignition sources and store in a closed container. Consult NFPA 68 and 70 for
additional information.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Control airborne dust concentrations below the exposure limits. Use only with
adequate ventilation.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: When respiratory protection is required, or dust concentrations are unknown,
use a NIOSH/MSHA approved air-purifying respirator for dusts.
SKIN PROTECTION: Wear work gloves to prevent skin irritation.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION FOR WOOD DUST AND FORMALDEHYDE
WOOD DUST
Wood dust is known to be a human carcinogen. An increased incidence of adenocarcinoma of the nasal
cavities and paranasal sinuses was observed in studies of people whose occupations are associated with
th
wood dust exposure. (10 Edition of the National Toxicology Program鈥檚 Report on Carcinogens)
FORMALDEHYDE
Chronic (Cancer) Information: See Section 2 for carcinogenicity categories.
Teratology (Birth Defect) Information: No hazards reported.
Reproduction Information: Reproductive effects in animals have been reported in RTECS for formaldehyde.
Sensitizer: Exposure to low doses of formaldehyde may cause an allergic reaction. Wood dust from some tree
species may induce sensitization.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
These wood products are not expected to pose an ecological hazard as a result of their intended uses.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Dispose of waste according to local, state/provincial, and federal requirements.
