Stone Wool Insulation

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

OSHA Classification of the substance or mixture WHMIS Classification Not controlled

Adverse physicochemical, human health and environmental effects

This product may cause mechanical irritation to the eyes and skin. Temporary irritation of the upper respiratory tract (scratchy throat, coughing, congestion) may result from exposure to dusts and fibers in excess of applicable exposure limits. Pre-existing chronic eye, skin and respiratory conditions may temporarily worsen due to exposure to dusts and fibers. This product may cause allergy in sensitized individuals There is insufficient evidence that synthetic mineral fibers cause respiratory disease in humans. Results from animal experiments have led to conservative classifications of certain synthetic mineral fibers as possible human carcinogens. Specifically, glass wool insulation is not classifiable as to their carcinogenicity to humans
