WARNING
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:
1. Lead from lead-based paints.
2. Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
3. Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your 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 wellventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed
to lter out microscopic particles.
