Dust of glass fiber, 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. Carcinogenicity: NTP? -- 1ARC Monographs? -- 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. Dusts in eye may cause irritation. Gastrointestinal disturbances possible from Ingestion. Glass fiber may create transient mechanical irritation of the skin of some persons. Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure Emergency and First Aid Procedures Should not be necessary from reasonable handling of this product.
