UNTREATEDWOOD DUST OR SAWDUST:Epidemiologicalstudies have been reported on carcinogenic risks of employment inthe furniture-makingindustry,thecarpentryindustry,and the lumber and sawmillindustry. The International Agency on Research of Carcinogens (IARC)hasreviewed thesestudiesand reports that there is sufficient evidence that nasal carcinomas have been caused by employmentin the furniture-making industry where the excess risk is assodated with exposure to untreatedwood dust orsawdustfrom softwood and hardwood spedes.The IARCconcluded that epidemiological data are sufficientto make a direct linkage between wood dustexposure and a rare form ofnasal cancer.
