• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline  silica  from  bricks and  cement
and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic  and  chromium from  chemically-
treated lumber.
Your  risk  from  these  exposures  varies,
depending on  how  often you  do  this type  of
work.  To  reduce  your  exposure  to  these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work  with  approved  safety  equipment,  such
as  those  dust  masks  that  are  specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
