Most Important Hazards
: WHO (World Health Organization):
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) which is a working group of WHO has evaluated the risk of airborne man made fibers and concluded that the more commonly including insulation glass wool, stone wool and slag wool are not classifiable as to carcinogenicity to humans (Group 3). Therefore all mineral wools, including non-bio soluble types as well, are in the third group of classification namely, Inadequate Data Group which also includes tea, fluorescent light and caffeine. EC (European Community)
Fibers contained in this product have a low fiber biopersistance. (Weighted clearance
half life of fibers, with lengths greater than 20
µm, after inhalation, less than 10 days or
after intratracheal instillation, less than 40
days). So, classification as a carcinogen
need not apply in accordance with the
Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and the note
Q of the directive 97/69/EC.
