The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) reviewed the carcinogenicity data on man-made vitreous fibers (including ceramic fiber, glasswool, rockwool, and slagwool) in 1987. IARC classified ceramic fiber, fibrous glasswool and mineral wool (rockwool and slagwool) as possible human carcinogens (Group 2B).

EMERGENCY FIRST AID PROCEDURES

EYE CONTACT - Flush eyes immediately with large amounts of water for approximately 15 minutes. Eye lids should be held away from the eyeball to insure thorough rinsing. Do not rub eyes. Get medical attention if irritation persists.

INHALATION - Remove person from source of exposure and move to fresh air. Some people may be sensitive to fiber induced irritation of the respiratory tract.

If person experiences continued breathing difficulties, administer oxygen until medical assistance can be rendered.

INGESTION - Do not induce vomiting. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
