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
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.
