Roseburg PF-MF-PVA Bonded Plywood and Composite Panel MSDS 08/01/11 page 2

Target Organs: Eyes, skin, mucous membranes, upper respiratory tract.

Acute: Wood dust may cause dryness, irritation, coughing and sinusitis. Dust may irritate the

eyes. Some wood species may cause skin and respiratory irritation. The irritation is generally

caused by mechanical action on the skin or mucous membranes.

Chronic: Wood dust, depending on the species, may cause allergic contact dermatitis and

respiratory sensitization with prolonged, repetitive contact or exposure to elevated dust levels.

Prolonged exposure to dust from some wood species has been reported to be associated with

nasal cancer.

Cancer Listing: Wood dust

: NTP known to be a Human Carcinogen (10

Report), IARC

Monographs Group 1: Carcinogenic to humans; sufficient evidence of carinogenicity.

Formaldehyde: NTP and OSHA – Probable Human Carcinogen, IARC Group 1 for sufficient

evidence that formaldehyde causes nasopharyngeal, a rare cancer in humans, and “limited

evidence” for cancer of nasal cavity and sinuses, and a “strong but not sufficient evidence” for

leukemia.

Medical Conditions That May Be Aggravated by Exposure: Wood dust may aggravate

preexisting respiratory conditions or allergies.

2.4 Potential Environmental Effects: These wood products are not expected or known
