Acute Health Hazards
OSHA Acute Effects of Overexposure: Dust may cause eye and respiratory irritation. Dust particles may cause abrasive injury to the eyes.
Potential chronic health
Of Overexposure Long-term overexposure to respirable dust may cause lung damage (fibrosis) with symptoms of coughing, shortness of breath and diminished breathing capacity. Chronic effects may be aggravated by smoking. Prolonged exposure to elevated noise levels during operations may affect hearing. A greater hazard, in most cases, is the exposure to the dust/fumes from the material or paint/coatings being ground. Most of the dust generated during grinding is from the base material being ground and the potential hazard from this exposure must be evaluated.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
