Potential Health Effects
Summary
Due to the form and intended use of the product, hazardous exposures are unlikely to occur. Under conditions of high heat
and humidity, formaldehyde gas may be released from the mat product. Formaldehyde is irritating to the eyes and respiratory
system and has been classified as having carcinogenic potential. Exposure to formaldehyde may cause skin or respiratory
sensitization (allergy). Irritating nuisance dust may be generated during cutting, fabricating, or installing this product.
Inhalation
Irritation of the upper respiratory tract (scratchy throat), coughing, and congestion may occur in extreme exposures.
Skin
Temporary irritation (itching) or redness may occur.
Ingestion
Product is not intended to be ingested or eaten under normal conditions of use. If ingested, it may cause temporary irritation
to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and should be treated symptomatically.
Eyes
Temporary irritation (itching) or redness may occur.
Primary Routes of Entry (Exposure)
Inhalation, skin, and eye contact.
Target Organs
Upper respiratory system, skin, and eyes.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure
Pre-existing chronic respiratory, skin, or eye diseases or conditions.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
First Aid: Inhalation
Remove to fresh air. Drink water to clear throat, and blow nose to remove dust.
First Aid: Skin
Wash gently with soap and water to remove dust and fibers. Wash hands before eating or using the restroom.
First Aid: Ingestion
Product is not intended to be ingested or eaten. If this product is ingested, irritation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract may occur,
and should be treated symptomatically. Rinse mouth with water to remove material or dust, and drink plenty of water to help
reduce the irritation. No chronic effects are expected following ingestion.
First Aid: Eyes
Do not rub or scratch your eyes. Dust particles may cause the eye to be scratched. Flush eyes with large amounts of water for
5-15 minutes. If irritation persists, contact a medical professional.
First Aid: Notes to Physician
This product is a mechanical irritant, and is not expected to produce any chronic health effects from acute exposures.
Treatment should be directed toward removing the source of irritation with symptomatic treatment as necessary.

Chronic Toxicity
The asphalt in this product exists in a solid state and does not impart any special hazard to the product. If installing with hot
liquid asphalt, follow instructions and precautions provided by the manufacturer of the liquid asphalt.
Crystalline silica is considered a hazard by inhalation. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified
crystalline silica as a Group 1 substance, carcinogenic to humans. This classification is based on the findings of laboratory
animal studies (inhalation and implantation) and epidemiology studies that were considered sufficient for carcinogenicity.
Several studies have been conducted to determine the risk of cancer to workers exposed to dusts which contain crystalline
silica. However, these studies did not consider other factors or elements that workers may be exposed to. Therefore, the
causes of the excess deaths due to cancer could not be precisely determined. Further studies are being conducted to
determine the risk of cancer when working with crystalline silica products. Excessive exposure to crystalline silica can cause
silicosis, a non-cancerous lung disease.
Exposure to formaldehyde gas (released under conditions of high heat or humidity) may cause eye and upper respiratory
irritation, and possible respiratory or skin sensitization (allergy). If sensitization occurs, subsequent exposures to formaldehyde
may worsen asthma or other respiratory problems, and cause allergic type reactions.
Exposure to formaldehyde gas has been associated with the development of nasal tumors in laboratory animals.
Formaldehyde has been classified as a probable human carcinogen, Group 2A, by the International Agency for Research on
Cancer (IARC). The US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the US National Toxicology Program
(NTP) considered formaldehyde to have carcinogenic potential. OSHA specifically regulates formaldehyde under 29 CFR
1910.1048. Elevated incidences of nasopharyngeal cancers were associated with occupational exposures to formaldehyde in
2 of 6 human epidemiology studies. However, a significantly elevated risk was found only among employees estimated to have
had exposures >0.5-25 ppm.
Talc: Under prolonged, excessive exposure, talc can cause pulmonary fibrosis, a non-cancerous scarring of the lung that
decreases lung elasticity and can make breathing difficult. Excessive, chronic exposure to fibrous industrial talc can cause
pneumoconiosis often accompanied by chronic hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy in humans.
Continuous Filament Glass Fiber: No chronic health effects are known to be associated with exposure to continuous filament
fiber glass. Long-term epidemiologic studies do not show any increases in respiratory cancer or other disease among
employees who manufacture this product. In 1987, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified
continuous filament fiber glass as a Group 3 substance, "not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans." In 2001, IARC
re-affirmed this designation. Because of the large diameter of continuous filament fibers, these fibers are not considered
respirable.
