Various dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contains chemicals
known (to the State of California) to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
•Lead from lead-based paints,
•Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products,
•Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
The risk from these exposures 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 use approved
safety equipment, such as dust
masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles.
