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 keratinizatlon 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.

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 of airborne dust. Measures as outlined in Section VIII should be followed il 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.
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) niosh approved forpneumoconiosis - fibrosis producing dusts and dusts with TLV not less than 0.05 mg/M3.
Ven,i,aHon
Local Exhaust For dust exposures exceeding TLV.
'
Mechanical (General) Not recommended for dust exposures.
Special NK
0the, 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.
