• Eyes: Direct contact with eye can cause mechanical irritation.
• Skin: The material (when in wet state or as a dust) is not chemically harmful if it comes in contact with the skin
and is not immediately washed off. However, direct contact of dust and mineral wool fibers with skin can cause
skin irritation (mechanical) and itchiness.
• Ingestion: No known effects.
• Inhalation: Inhalation of dust can cause nose, throat, lungs, and upper respiratory tract irritation. Persons
exposed to dust may be forced to leave area because of nuisance conditions such as coughing, sneezing and nasal

Carcinogenicity Classification of Ingredients
In October 2001, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified mineral wool fibers (rock or slag)
as Group 3 (not classifiable as to carcinogenicity to humans). IARC noted specifically: “no evidence of increased risks
of lung cancer or mesothelioma (cancer of the lining of the body cavities) from occupational exposures during
manufacture of these materials, and inadequate evidence overall of any cancer risk.” this was a reversal of the IARC
finding in 1987 of a Group 2B designation (possibly carcinogenic to humans) based on earlier studies in which
animals were injected with large quantities of slag wool fibers.
