WARNING: Some dust created by power
&
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,and other
constructionactivities contains chemicals known
to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
lead fromlead-based paints,
crystallinesilica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
arsenic and chromiumfrom chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you dothis type of work.
