Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic)
,
Some persons may be sensitive to partially cured pnenoiie or cashew raslns and develop dermatitis-type reactions. Ousts ot
crystalline silica may Droduce silicosis. Metal dusts can be irntants of the eyea and upper respiratory system. Thera is littte
known evidence of chronic industrial poisoning from iron, aluminum, and zine dusts.
___
inhalation of concentrations of airborne asbestos fibers in excess of the OSHA limits may be hazardous to health and may causa sanous bodily narm. suen as asoestosis. lung cancer or mesotneuoma. Those diseases may not be recognized until many years after exposure. Medical literature indicates tnat pooois who smoks are at a significantly increased naaitn risk
when working with airooma asoestos fibers.
Carcinogenicity Usdng: Asbestos fibers
NTP? ' Yea
IARC Monographs? Yea
OSHA Regutated? Yea
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Partially Cured Cashew Resins -- skin sruptions similar in appearance to poison ivy. Lung Effects from asbestos and crystalline silica -- coughing, wnaezing. shortness of breatn. imoairsd pulmonary function. Dusts in aye may cause irritation. Gastrointestinal disturbances possible from ingestion.

SECTION VIII -- Special Protection Information
Respiratory Protection (Speedy Typo): Not Required under normal conditions.
However it concentration of air&orne asoestos fibers m excess of the OSHA standard is created, respirators aoproveo By
NiOSH *or asoestos fibers sftouid be used.

Ventilation:
.during machining -- including grinding ana dritiingj
Local Exhaust: Preferred Mechanical (General): Not applicable
itectlve Gloves: Recommended
Eye Protection: Safety Glasses Suggested
Other Protective Equipment: See paragraph 7 of Recommended Procedures on Page 4
SECTION IX -- SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
The Friction Material product, as shipped, is not considered hazardous, but machining (grinding and drilling) and/or normal use may create asoestos dust or sirocme asbestos fibers m excess of OSHA standard and snouid be considered Hazardous. Recommended Precaution -- if airbomo asbestos fiber concentrations excaed OSHA limits. NIOSH approved respirators snouid oe worn ana proper engineering controls implemented. If product is ground or machined, local exhaust to control axposure to airoorne asoestos fibers or duet is recommended. (See "Recommended Procedures" on Page 4.) The work environment snouid be monitored to determine whether employee exposure exceed OSHA permissible exposure level m accordance with OSHA regulation 29 CFR Part 1910.1001. Back'ages containing tha Friction Matanal Product should ba labelled in accordance with OSHA regulation 29 CFR Pan 1910.1001 (j) (2) as follows:

Because studies have indicated that exposure to excessive amounts of asbestos dust may oe a potential health hazard. OSHA has set maximum limits of levels of airoome asbestos dust to -.vhich workers may oe exposed. Since most automotive friction materials normally contain a sizable amount of asbestos, it is important :ha; people wno handle brake linings and clutch facings understand the nature of the problem and knew the precautions to be taken.
