RESEARCH ON CANCER (IARC) HAS CLASSIFIED WOOD DUST AS A NASAL

CARCINOGEN IN HUMANS. THE NATIONAL TOXICOLOGY PROGRAM (NTP)

CLASSIFIES WOOD DUST AS A KNOWN HUMAN CARCINOGEN.

 Avoid dust contact with ignition source.

 Sweep or vacuum dust for recovery or disposal.

 Avoid inhaling wood dust. Use a dust mask or other safeguards for personal
