Handling ceramic fi ber and fi berglass materials
REMOVAL OF COMBUSTION CHAMBER
LINING OR BASE PANELS
The combustion chamber lining or
base insulation panels in this prod-
uct contain ceramic fi ber materials.
Ceramic fibers can be converted to
cristobalite in very high temperature
applications. The International Agency
for Research on Cancer (IARC) has
concluded, “Crystalline silica inhaled in
the form of quartz or cristobalite from
occupational sources is carcinogenic to
humans (Group 1).”:
Precautionary measures
❏ Avoid breathing fi berglass dust and contact with skin
or eyes.
• Use NIOSH certifi ed dust respirator (N95).
This type of respirator is based on the
