Handling ceramic fiber and fiberglass materials
IAWARNINGI
This product
contains
fiberglass jacket insula-
tion
and ceramic
fiber materials in
combus-
tion chamber lining
or
base panels
in
gas
fired
products.
Airborne fibers from these
materials have been listed by the State of
Cali-
fornia as a possible cause
of
cancer through
inhalation. The combustion chamber lining
or
base insulation panels in this product
con-
tain
ceramic
fiber materials.
Ceramic
fibers
can be converted to cristobalite in very high
temperature applications. The International
Agency for Research
on Cancer (IARC)
has
concluded,
"Crystalline silica inhaled in the
form
of
quartz
or
cristobalite from
occu-
pational
sources
is carcinogenic to humans
(Group
1).":
Suppliers of
fiberglass
wool
products recom-
mend the following precautions be taken when
handling
these
materials:
Precautionary measures
•
Avoid
breathing fiberglass dust
and contact with skin
or
eyes.
• Use NIOSH
certified
dust respirator (N95
).
This type
of
respirator
is
based
on
the OSHA requirements
for fiberglass
wool at
the time this document
was
written.
Other types
of
respirators may be needed
Address reported problems
1. Inspect any problems reported by owner and correct
before proceeding.
Inspect boiler area
1.

protection.
•
Apply enough water
to the
combustion
chamber lining
or
base insulation
to
prevent
airborne dust.
• Remove
combustion chamber
lining
or
base
insulation from the boiler and place
it
in a
plastic bag for
disposal.
• Operations
such as sawing,
blowing, tear
out
and spraying
may
generate airborne
fiber
concentration requiring additional
protection.
