Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic)
Some persons may be sensitive to cashew resins and develop dermatltls-type problems. Dust of glass fiber, silica, talc, graphite, cartoon 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? --
IARC 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
