COMPONENT CAS# EXPOSURE LIMIT EXPOSURE LIMIT

Formaldehyde ** 50-00-0 0.75 ppm; 8-hrTWA 0.3 ppm; Ceiling*

2.0 ppm; 15 -min STEL

PNOR- (Wood DustIWood None 15.0 mg/m J Total Dust W 9od-All other species

(I) In AFL-CIO v. OSHA 965 F. 2d 962 (11th Cir. 1992), the court overturned OSHA's 1989 Air Contaminants Rule, including the specific

PELs for wood dust. The 1989 PELs were: TWA-5.0 mg/m ': STEL (15 min.) & 10.0 mg/m ' (all soft and hard woods. except Western red cedar);

Western red cedar: TWA - 2.5 mg/m '.

(2) Wood dust is regulated by OSHA as an organic dust under Particulates Not Otherwise Regulated (PNOR) or Inert or Nuisance Dust categories

utilizing the PELs in Section II. Some States have incorporated provisions of the 1989 standard in their state plans. Additionally, OSHA has

announced that they may cite companies under the OSH Act General Duty Clause, under appropriate circumstances. for non-compliance with the

1989 PELs.

(3) The Company manufactures this product using locally available materials. The composition of wood types will vary depending on the

location of the manufacturing facility and available wood species. The ACGIH TLV for western red cedar is 0.5 mg/m ' inhalable particulate

mass. The ACGIH TLV for all other wood species is 1.0 mg/rn ' inhalable particulate mass. The Company does not intentionally use western red

cedar in the manufacturing process. Various hardwoods are used at some manufacturing locations.

* NOTE: Based on transient irritant effect.

** NOTE; Formaldehyde gas may be emitted from the board product in very small quantities (fractional part per million [ppm] levels).
