contain chemicals known [to the State of California] 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.
