WARNING!
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drill-
ing, and other construction activities contains chemicals that are 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 of exposure to these chemicals 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 dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
