Medical Conditions
Aggravated by
Exposure
•
Disorders of the lungs.
Potential Health Effects
Inhalation
Acute (Immediate)
•
Exposure to dust may cause irritation. Processes such as cutting, grinding, crushing, or impact
may result in generation of excessive amounts of airborne dusts in the workplace. Nuisance
dust may affect the lungs but reactions are typically reversible. Wood dust (generated from
sawing, sanding or machining the product) may cause nasal dryness, irritation, coughing and
sinusitis.
Chronic (Delayed)
•
Prolonged exposure to the dust may cause wheezing, chest tightness, productive cough,
nasal irritation and symptoms of chronic respiratory disease. Wood dust, depending on the
species, may cause respiratory sensitization with prolonged, repetitive contact or exposure to
elevated dust levels.
Skin
Acute (Immediate)
•
Exposure to dust may cause mechanical irritation. May cause skin sensitization. Symptoms
include redness and skin rash.
Chronic (Delayed)
•
No data available.
Eye
Acute (Immediate)
•
Exposure to dust may cause mechanical irritation. Excessive concentrations of nuisance dust
in the workplace may reduce visibility and may cause unpleasant deposits in eyes.
Chronic (Delayed)
•
No data available.
Ingestion
Acute (Immediate)
•
Excessive concentrations of nuisance dust in the workplace may cause mechanical irritation to
mucous membranes.
Chronic (Delayed)
•
No data available
Carcinogenic
Effects
•
According to its Twelfth Report on Carcinogens the National Toxicology Program states,
"many case reports and epidemiological studies (including cohort studies and case-control
studies that specifically addressed nasal cancer) have found a strong association between
exposure to wood dust and cancer of the nasal cavity. Strong and consistent associations with
cancer of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses were observed both in studies of people
whose occupations were associated with wood-dust exposure and in studies that directly
estimated wood dust exposure."
