According to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200, certain wood fibers and carbon black are considered hazardous if the workplace airborne concentration exceeds the OSHA or ACGIH exposure limits. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: Dust can irritate nose, throat and respiratory tract and may cause mechanical irritation in the eyes. Repeated exposures to certain wood dusts can produce allergic skin and respiratory reactions including asthma and rhinitis. Inhalation of certain wood fibers can cause nasal cancer. Carbon black is a possible carcinogen. PHYSICAL / CHEMICAL HAZARDS: No significant hazards. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS: No significant hazards. NFPA HAZARD ID: Health: 0 Flammability: 1 Reactivity: 0 EMERGENCY RESPONSE DATA: Brown solid. Exposure to fire can generate toxic fumes. High dust levels may create potential for explosion.

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: See Section 8 SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE: HANDLING: TREX® WOOD-POLYMER LUMBER is not intended for load bearing or heavy structural applications. Please consult Trex® Wood-Polymer Lumber’s code listing and company literature for proper usage. Trex® Wood-Polymer Lumber is heavier than most traditional lumber products and proper handling is required to prevent damage or injury. Do not burn in fireplace or use as firewood. STORAGE: Do not store in open or unlabeled containers. Store away from strong oxidizing agents or combustible material. C SECTION 8 – EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION: VENTILATION: Use in well-ventilated area. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Approved dust respirators must be used for dusty conditions or if breathing of dusts is likely. EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses with side shields, or goggles, should be worn to protect against dust particles. SKIN PROTECTION: No special equipment required. Good personal hygiene practices should always be followed.

SECTION 11 – TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION: ACUTE TOXICOLOGY: Oral Toxicity (Rats): Not established. Dermal Toxicity (Rabbits): Not established. Inhalation Toxicity (Rats): Not established. Eye Irritation (Rabbits): Not established. Skin Irritation (Rabbits): Not established. CHRONIC TOXICOLOGY (SUMMARY): IARC has determined that there is sufficient evidence to classify wood fiber as a human carcinogen. IARC has classified carbon black as a possible human carcinogen based on animal data. When wood fiber and carbon black are incorporated into a polymer matrix exposure is virtually eliminated.
