Avoid inhaling dust or handling debris from the work

extraction and wear respiratory protective equipment when
working with materials which produce airborne particles.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,

chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer
and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead based paints
- Crystalline silica bricks and cement and other
masonry products
- 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.
