Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic)
.
Some persons may be sensitive to cashew resins and develop dermatitis-type problems. Dust of silica, graphite, carbon black, and coal can produce pneumoconiosis and other lung damage. Metal dusts can be Irritants of the eyes and upper respiratory system. There is little evidence of chronic industrial poisoning from iron, aluminum, and zinc dust.

Other Precautions
.
Pre-employment screening for allergies and histories of skin sensitivities may be beneficial In determining persons sensitive to cashew materials.
SECTION VIII - Control Measures
Respiratory Protection ( Specify Type) N10gH approved for pneumoconiosis and dust with TLV not less than 0.05 mg/M3.
Ventilation
Local Exhaust por dust exposures exceeding TLV.

.
Protective Cloves Recommended.
,her Barrier creams for persons with skin sensltivie to cashew resins.
Eye Protection
.
Should not be needed for normal handling of product. Eye protection Is good practice where dust is propelled by grinding or
drilling activities.
.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment
.'
Long sleeved shirts or other protective clothing may be beneficial to prevent skin contact of persons sensitive to cashew resins.
