HANDLING CERAMIC FIBER MATERIALS
Removal of combustion chamber lining:
The combustion chamber insulation in this boiler contains ceramic
ber material. Ceramic bers can be converted to cristobalite in
very high temperature applications. The International Agency for
Research on Cancer (IARC) has concluded, “Crystalline silica
in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources
is carcinogenic to humans (Group 1).” Normal operating
temperatures in this boiler are below the level to convert ceramic
bers to cristobalite.
The ceramic ber material used in this boiler is an irritant; hence
when handling or replacing the ceramic materials it is advisable
that the installer follow these safety guidelines.
1. Avoid breathing dust and contact with skin and eyes.
• Use NIOSH certied dust respirator (N95). This type
of respirator is based on the OSHA requirements for
cristobalite at the time this document was written. Other
types of respirators may be needed depending on the
job site conditions. Current NIOSH recommendations
can be found on the NIOSH website at http://www.cdc.
gov/niosh/homepage.html. NIOSH approved respirators,
manufacturers, and phone numbers are also listed on
this website.
• Wear long-sleeved, loose tting clothing, gloves, and eye
protection.
2. Apply enough water to the combustion chamber lining to
prevent airborne dust.
3. Remove the combustion chamber lining from the boiler and
place it in a plastic bag for disposal.
4. Wash potentially contaminated clothes separately from
other clothing. Rinse clothes washer thoroughly.
NIOSH stated First Aid:
• Eye: Irrigate immediately.
• Breathing: Fresh air.
