 Fiberglass wool and ceramic
fiber Materials
The state of California has
listed the airborne fibers of
these materials as a possible
cancer hazard through
inhalation. When handling
these materials, special care
must be applied.
Suppliers of ceramic fiber
products recommend the
following first aid measures:
- Respiratory tract (nose and
throat) irritation
If respiratory tract irritation
develops, move the person to
a dust free location.
- Eye irritation
If eyes become irritated, flush
immediately with large
amounts of lukewarm water

rub or scratch exposed skin.
Wash area of contact
thoroughly with soap and
water.
Using a skin cream or lotion
after washing may be helpful.

water to remove dust. If
symptoms
persist, seek medical attention.
- If skin contact occurs, wash
affected
areas gently with soap and
