| Potential health hazards include exposure to chemicals such as paints (aerosol paint cans, stains, varnishes, latex or water based paint), silicas, or fine dust from sanding operations. An individual may be exposed through inhalation or dermal absorption. Organic solvents and vapors through inhalation or absorption have been linked to central nervous system disorders. In addition, skin contact may cause dermatitis and localized skin irritation. Exposure to additives and paint pigments such as lead, cadmium, and chromium is considered highly toxic. Sanding operations create fine dust that can have negative health effects if inhaled. Know the hazards involved with the materials you are using, check any applicable SDS sheets, and read any labels for proper usage instructions. ''Are the vapors or dust harmful to breathe? Is it flammable? Will there be a chemical reaction?'' Please do your research and notify the Maker Hub staff of any harmful chemicals, vapors, or dust you might be creating <strong>BEFORE</strong> you begin your work in the Finishing Room. | | Potential health hazards include exposure to chemicals such as paints (aerosol paint cans, stains, varnishes, latex or water based paint), silicas, or fine dust from sanding operations.
