REMOVAL OF COMBUSTION CHAMBER

LINING OR BASE PANELS

The  combustion    chamber    lining    or

base insulation panels in this prod-

uct contain ceramic fiber 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).”:

❏  Avoid breathing fiberglass dust and contact with skin

or eyes.
•  Use NIOSH certified dust respirator (N95).

This type of respirator is based on the

OSHA requirements for fiberglass wool at the

time this document was written. Other types of

respirators may be needed depending on the

job site conditions. Current NIOSH recommen-

dations can be found on the NIOSH web site

at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/homepage.html.

NIOSH approved respirators, manufacturers, and

phone numbers are also listed on this web site.

•  Wear long-sleeved, loose fitting clothing, gloves,

and eye protection.

❏  Apply enough water to the combustion chamber lining

or base insulation to prevent airborne dust.

❏  Remove  combustion  chamber  lining  or  base  insula-

tion  from  the  boiler  and  place  it  in  a  plastic  bag  for

disposal.

❏  Wash potentially contaminated clothes separately from

other clothing. Rinse clothes washer thoroughly.

❏  Eye: Irrigate immediately.
❏  Breathing: Fresh air.

materials  in  combustion  chamber

lining  or  base  panels  in  gas  fired

products. Airborne fibers from these

materials have been listed by the State

of  California  as  a  possible  cause  of

cancer through inhalation.

•  Wear long-sleeved, loose fitting clothing, gloves,

and eye protection.

❏  Operations  such  as  sawing,  blowing,  tear  out,  and

spraying may generate airborne fiber concentration

requiring additional protection.
