Carcinogenicity:

IARC: Cellulose, as wood dust, depending on the species, may cause dermatitis
on prolonged repetitive contact. May cause respiratory and/or irritation.
IARC classifies wood dust as a carcinogen to humans (Group 1). This
classification is based primarily on IARC’s evaluation of increased risk in
occurrence of adenocarcinomas of the nasal cavities and the nasal sinuses
associated with exposure to wood dust. There was no sufficient evidence
to associate to other types of cancer.
ACGIH: No component of this product presents at levels greater than or equal to
0.1% is identified as a carcinogen or potential carcinogen by ACGIH.
NTP: No component of this product presents at levels greater than or equal to
0.1% is identified as a carcinogen or potential carcinogen by NTP.
OSHA: No component of this product presents at levels greater than or equal to
0.1% is identified as a carcinogen or potential carcinogen by OSHA.
