Hazard statements

Health Flammability Physical / PPI / Special Instability hazard. HMIS 2* 1 0 NFPA 2 1 0 Immediate (Acute) Health Effects Inhalation Toxicity: Airborne treated or untreated wood dust may cause nose, throat or lung irritation. Skin Toxicity: Handling of wood may result in skin exposure to splinters. Prolonged and/or repeated contact with treated or untreated wood dust may result in mild irritation. Eye Toxicity: Treated or untreated wood dust may cause mechanical irritation. Ingestion Toxicity: Not expected to be a route of exposure in normal industrial use. Acute Target Organ Skin, Eyes, Respiratory Tract Toxicity:

Potential chronic health

Carcinogenicity: IARC has classified untreated hardwood and hardwood/softwood mix wood dust as a Group 1 human carcinogen. The wood dust classification is based primarily on IARC's evaluation of increased risk in the occurrence of adenocarcinomas of the nasal cavities and paranasal sinuses associated with occupational exposures to untreated wood dust. NTP has classified all untreated wood dust as a carcinogen. Reproductive and Not known or reported to cause reproductive or Developmental Toxicity: developmental toxicity. Inhalation: May cause respiratory sensitization and/or irritation. Skin Contact: Treated or untreated wood dust, depending on the species, may cause dermatitis on prolonged, repetitive contact. Ingestion: Not expected to be a route of exposure in normal industrial use. Sensitization: Various species of untreated wood dust can elicit an allergic respiratory response in sensitized persons. Various species of untreated wood dust can elicit an allergic type skin irritation in sensitized persons.
