Skin? yM Ingestion ? ye8 Health Hazards (Acute.and Chronic) - Some persons may be sensitive to cashew resins and develop dermatitis-type problems. Dust of asbestos, silica, talc, 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 dusts. Copper may cause keratinization and discoloring of the skin. Chronic Intoxication from copper is rare and only in persons with Wilson s Disease. Zinc and copper can produce metal fume fever, but is generally associated with exposures to freshly generated fume . of those alloys (molten state). Carcinogenicity: Asbestos NTP? Yes IARC Monographs? Yes OSHA Regulated? No Signs and Symptoms of Exposure Cashew Resins -- skin eruptions similar In appearance to poison ivy. Pneumoconiosis -- coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, impaired pulmonary function. Copper may produce metallic taste in mouth and nausea. Small amounts of ingested copper Induces vomiting. Dusts In eye may cause irritation. Gastrointestinal disturbances possible from Ingestion. Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure Copper exposure and Wilson's Disease Emergency and First Aid Procedures Should not be necessary from the handling of this product. v i Warner SBC-23-000018 Form #1 i Page 3 of SECTION VII - Precautions for Safe Handling and Use Steps to Be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled Grinding, drilling, milling, etc. can result in the release ot airborne dust. Measures as outlined in Section VIII should be followed if this occurs. Waste Disposal Method Asbestos: Per 40 CFR, Part 61, 29 CFR, Part 1910.1001. Other Hazardous Ingredients: Per 40 CFR, Part 261, 262 and applicable State and Local regulations. ,4-. 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) ^lOSH approved for pneumoconiosis - fibrosis producing dusts and dustswith TLVnot less than 0.05 mg/M^, Ventilation . ,v Local Exhaust por (just exposures exceeding TLV. Mechanical iGenerat) Not recommended for dust exposures. '* Special NK O**1" Barrier creams for persons with skin sensitive to cashew resins. Protective Gloves Recommended for persons with skin sensitive 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. Work/Hygienic Practices . . Employees should be properly instructed in the use of control measures as indicated above when there is a need for it. if dust from this product is produced, unnecessary exposures should be avoided by using a vacuum in place of dry brooming. Use wet method of cleaning for other surfaces. Proper and adequate personal hygiene should be practiced by exposed workers. NA - Not Available NK - Not Known Warner SBC-25-000019 Form #1
