Section 2
SECTION 2: Hazards identification
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Stable under normal conditions, but if cutting, sanding, or machining this product it may generate dust. Dust may cause upper respiratory tract, lung, eye, nasal, and skin irritation.
Principle Routes of Exposure
skin, eye, inhalation, and ingestion
Potential health effects
EYES: Dust can cause short term mechanical eye irritation. SKIN: Contact with the board or dust may produce itching and temporary irritation. INGESTION: Under normal conditions this does not apply. May result in obstruction and temporary irritation of the digestive tract. INHALATION: Cutting, sanding, or machining of this product may generate fiber and polyurethane dust which can cause short term upper respiratory tract, lung, eye, nasal, and skin irritation.
Health hazards
In a repeated dose inhalation study, pulmonary lesions and two cancers were reported among a small number of rats exposed to airborne concentrations of 3.6 and 20 mg/m³ polyurethane foam dust. A later study using larger numbers of animals did not show any effects, other than inflammation, at concentrations as high as 20 mg/m³. The significance of the results of the earlier study with respect to human exposure is unknown.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
Respiratory or skin conditions that are aggravated by mechanical irritants may be at an increased risk for worsening from exposure to this product, especially from the dust created by this product.
