SECTION VI - Health Hazard Data
Inhalation?
Skin? y^g
Ingestion? yflg
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 dust. Chronic exposure ' to lead can affect kidneys, blood, gums, gastrointestinal system, and central nervous system.
Carcinogenicity: Asbestos
NTP? Yes
IARC Monographs? Yes
OSHA Regulated? No
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure
.
Cashew resin - 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. Lead may decrease physical fitness, cause fatique, sleep disturbance, headache, aching bones and muscles, abdominal pain and decreased appetite and progressive to more severe symptoms.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure Emergency and First Aid Procedures
Should not be necessary from reasonable 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 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.
Other Precautions Specific requirements are covered per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1025 Pre-employment screening for allergies and histories of skin sensitivities may be beneficial in determining persons sensitive to cashew materials.
SECTION vni - Control Measures
Respiratory Protection ( Specify Type) nIOSH approved forpneumoconiosis - fibrosis producing dusts and dusts with TLV not less than 0.05 mg/M.
Ventilation
Local Exhaust Recommended for dust sources.
~
Mechanical (General) Not recommended for dust control. Special NK
Other
creams for persons with skin sensitive to cashew resins.
Protective Gloves Recommended where skin contact with lead and 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 Recommended In dusty atmosphere. This may be required under the OSHA lead standard depending upon exposure levels.
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.
