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.

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Smoke, Carbon Monoxide, Acetaldehyde, Formaldehyde, Formic Acid, Acetic Acid. HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur. 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.
