Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities
contains chemicals known 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.
