Section IX - Special Precaution
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE:Wood dust can cause lung, upper respitatory tract,
eye and skin irritation. Some wood species may cause dermititis and/or allergic respiratory effects. The international agency for
research on cancer (IARC) has classified wood dust as a nasal carcinogen in humans. Wood dust represents an explosion hazard if
a dust cloud contacts an ignition source, or may spontaneously ignite in contact with strong oxidizers. Avoid dust contact with
ignition sources. Sweep or vacuum dust for recovery or disposal. Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of wood dust. Avoid dust
contact with skin or eyes.
