WARNING:

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 ex-
amples 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.
