Health Effects
|
|
CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD. Burning charcoal inside without adequate
ventilation can kill you. It gives off carbon monoxide, which has no odor.
NEVER burn charcoal inside homes, vehicles or tents.
California Prop 65 Warning. Combustion, (burning) of this product, carbon monoxide and other substances knows to the State to cause cancer, birth defects and reproductive harm.
From MSDS: Dust may irritate eyes. Inhalation of dust may irritate nose and throat.
Repeated or prolonged overexposure to the dust may cause coughing,
shortness of breath, and occupational lung disease. Wood dust is a possible
sensitizer. Studies have linked wood dust to nasal cancer in furniture
industry workers. Woodworkers in the building industry (e.g. carpenters) do
not appear to have this increased risk. Due to the product form and typical
use conditions, significant dust exposures are unlikely, and, therefore, the
potential for any chronic effects is low.
CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD. Burning charcoal inside without adequate
ventilation can kill you. It gives off carbon monoxide, which has no odor.
NEVER burn charcoal inside homes, vehicles or tents.
Under normal consumer use situations, no medical conditions are known to
be aggravated by exposure to this product.
