• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

19. Your risk from those exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To

reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved

safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic

particles
