Potential chronic health

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified ceramic fiber, fibrous glasswool, and mineral wool (rockwool and slagwool) as possible human carcinogens (Group 2B) based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in animals but insufficient data in humans. In the National Toxicology Program's (NTP) 7th Annual Report on Carcinogens (1994), respirable glasswool was classified as reasonably anticipated to be carcinogenic. Inhalation of crystalline silica (quartz) can cause cancer based on animal data, and IARC concludes sufficient evidence in humans (Group 1). Prolonged and repeated overexposure to free crystalline silica dust above the TLV level may cause scarring of the lungs with cough and shortness of breath. A delayed lung injury, silicosis may result from breathing free silica. OSHA considers fibrous glass dust a nuisance dust. Fibrous glass can cause dermatitis, local irritation. Long term overexposure to propylene glycol caused liver abnormalities, kidney damage in laboratory animals. Repeated excessive ingestion may cause central nervous system effects. Fillers are encapsulated and not expected to be released from product under normal conditions of use.
