WARNING
Inhaling of fiberglass wool and/or ceramic fiber
materials is a possible cancer hazard. These
materials can also cause respiratory, skin and eye
irritation.
The state of California has listed the airborne fibers
of these materials as a possible cancer hazard
through inhalation. When handling these materials,
special care must be applied.
Suppliers of ceramic fiber products recommend the
following first aid measures:
– Respiratory tract (nose and throat) irritation: If
respiratory tract irritation develops, move the person to
a dust free location.
– Eye irritation: If eyes become irritated, flush
Immediately with large amounts of lukewarm water for
at least 15 minutes. Eyelids should be held away from
the eyeball to ensure thorough rinsing. Do not rub eyes.
– Skin irritation: If skin becomes irritated, remove soiled
clothing. Do not rub or scratch exposed skin. Wash
area of contact thoroughly with soap and cold water
(as warm or hot water may worsen the irritation). Using
a skin cream or lotion after washing may be helpful.
– Gastrointestinal irritation: If gastrointestinal tract
irritation develops, move the person to a dust free
environment.
