SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Glass yarns for textiles are not significantly hazardous. Details about chemical hazards are given in paragraph 2. Toxicological aspects are developed in detail in chapter 11. The essential point to remember is that glass filaments are not “respirable” as they are over 3µm in diameter and have been shown not to cause lung cancer. Hazards identified are: • mechanical irritation (itching) • the formation of respirable filaments • extremely rare possibilities of allergy.
