Section 2
SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Cutting through the material and surface scuffing may release small amounts of airborne fibre and amorphous silica dust which are mechanically irritant to skin, eyes and upper respiratory system. Based on animal studies, excessive exposure to man made mineral fibre dust may cause lung damage (fibrosis) and tumours. Prolonged exposure to temperatures above 980°C can produce a small percentage of crystalline silica : a probable carcinogen. As with any dust, pre-existing upper and lung diseases may be aggravated.
