Emergency Overview
WARNING ! Wood dust may form explosive mixture with air. Wood dusts may cause irritation to the eyes, skin
and respiratory tract.
Potential Health Effects: Eyes
Wood dust may cause irritation to the eyes. Symptoms can include irritation, redness, scratching of the cornea,
and tearing.
Potential Health Effects: Skin
Wood dust may cause irritation to the skin. Mechanical rubbing may increase skin irritation. Some wood species
may cause dermatitis or allergic skin reactions in sensitized individuals.

Material Name: ACQ Preserve Pressure Treated Wood ID: CSI-010
Potential Health Effects: Ingestion
Ingestion of wood or wood dust is unlikely. If ingestion does occur, slight gastrointestinal irritation may result.
Certain species of wood and their dusts may contain natural toxins which can have adverse effects in humans.
Potential Health Effects: Inhalation
Wood dust is irritating to the nose, throat and lungs. Symptoms may include nasal dryness, deposits or
obstructions in the nasal passages, coughing, sneezing, dryness and soreness of throat and sinuses,
hoarseness, and wheezing. Prolonged or repeated inhalation of wood dusts may cause respiratory irritation,
recurrent bronchitis and prolonged colds. Some species may cause allergic respiratory reactions with asthma-like
symptoms in sensitized individuals. Prolonged exposure to wood dust by inhalation has been reported to be
associated with nasal and paranasal cancer.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure
Pre-existing eye, respiratory system and skin conditions.
