WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known [to the State of California]
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
● Lead from lead-based paints,
● Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
● Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
