Remove to fresh air. Drink water to clear throat, and blow nose to remove dust.
First Aid: Skin
Wash gently with soap and water to remove dust. Wash hands before eating or using the restroom.
First Aid: Ingestion
Product is not intended to be ingested or eaten. If this product is ingested, irritation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract may occur,
and should be treated symptomatically. Rinse mouth with water to remove fibers, and drink plenty of water to help reduce the
irritation. No chronic effects are expected following ingestion.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Exposure Guidelines
A: General Product Information
Glass wool fiber, OSHA voluntary Health and Safety Partnership Program (HSPP): 1 f/cc TWA for fibers longer than 5 祄 with
a diameter less than 3 祄.
B: Component Exposure Limits
Fiber Glass Wool (65997-17-3)
ACGIH: 1 fiber/cm3 TWA (respirable fibers: length > 5 祄, aspect ratio equal to or greater than 3:1, as
determined by the membrane filter method at 400-450X magnification (4-mm objective), using
phase-contrast illumination.)
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Personal Protective Equipment: Eyes/Face
Safety glasses with sideshields are recommended to keep dust out of the eyes.
Personal Protective Equipment: Skin
Leather or cotton gloves should be worn to prevent skin contact and irritation. Barrier creams may also be used to reduce skin
contact and irritation caused by fiber glass.
Personal Protective Equipment: Respiratory
A respirator should be used if ventilation is unavailable, or is inadequate for keeping dust and fiber levels below the applicable
exposure limits. In those cases, use a NIOSH-certified disposable or reusable particulate respirator with an efficiency rating of
N95 or higher (under 42 CFR 84) when working with this product. For exposures up to five times the established exposure
limits use a quarter-mask respirator, rated N95 or higher; and for exposures up to ten times the established exposure limits
use a half-mask respirator (e.g., MSA's DM-11, Racal's Delta N95, 3M's 8210), rated N95 or higher. Operations such as
sawing, blowing, tear out, and spraying may generate airborne fiber concentrations requiring a higher level of respiratory
protection. For exposures up to 50 times the established exposure limits use a full-face respirator, rated N99 or higher.
Ventilation
In fixed manufacturing settings, local exhaust ventilation should be provided at areas of cutting to remove airborne dust and
fibers. General dilution ventilation should be provided as necessary to keep airborne dust and fibers below the applicable
exposure limits and guidelines. The need for ventilation systems should be evaluated by a professional industrial hygienist,
while the design of specific ventilation systems should be conducted by a professional engineer.
Personal Protective Equipment: General
Wear a cap, a loose-fitting, long-sleeved shirt and long pants to protect skin from irritation. Exposed skin areas should be
washed with soap and warm water after handling or working with fiber glass. Clothing should be washed separately from other
clothes, and the washer should be rinsed thoroughly (run empty for a complete wash cycle). This will reduce the chances of
fiber glass being transferred to other clothing.

ACGIH: A2 - Suspected Human Carcinogen (production)

Chronic Toxicity
Fiber Glass Wool: In October 2001, IARC classified fiber glass wool as Group 3, "not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to
humans." The 2001 decision was based on current human and animal research that shows no association between inhalation
exposure to dust from fiber glass wool and the development of respiratory disease. This is a reversal of the IARC finding in
1987 of a Group 2B designation (possibly carcinogenic to humans) based on earlier studies in which animals were injected
with large quantities of fiber glass. NTP and ACGIH have not yet reviewed the IARC reclassification or the most current fiber
glass health research; at this time, both agencies continue to classify glass wool based on the earlier animal injection studies.
Antimony trioxide causes pneumoconiosis in humans. Antimony trioxide was tested for carcinogenicity by inhalation exposure
in male and female rats. Evidence for pulmonary cancer in the rat studies was inconsistent. In the earlier studies, rats were
exposed to extremely high dose levels; exposed female rats, but not males, had an increased cancer incidence. However, in
later studies using more advanced techniques, the rats did not show increased cancers. USEPA and CalEPA concluded that
these studies are inadequate for use in quantitative cancer risk assessment. According to USEPA's recently proposed cancer
risk assessment guidance, a margin of exposure (MOE) analysis is more appropriate when, as with antimony trioxide, the
carcinogenicity of a chemical may be a secondary effect of toxicity or of an induced physiological change. The MOE approach
was adopted after conferring with CalEPA scientists involved in the Proposition 65 program who suggested using USEPA's
"Proposed Guidance for Carcinogen Risk Assessment." An independent laboratory conducted a risk analysis using the MOE
approach; the results indicated that the potential levels of exposure to antimony trioxide in JM products pose no significant
cancer risk to the end-user of these products.
