A naturally occurring, fibrous mineral consisting of white, prismatic crystals. Erionite is one of the more common types of zeolites that are found in the earth's crust. T his mineral is used as a metal-impregnated catalyst, as a fertilizer, to control odors in livestock production and is used in animal feed, pet litter and horticultural applications. Excessive inhalation of its dust can cause pulmonary fibrosis or silicatosis and prolonged exposure to erionite causes mesothelioma in humans. It is known to be a human carcinogen.

A clear, colorless liquid with an aromatic odor that emits toxic fumes of phosphorous oxides and nitrogen oxides when heated to decomposition. Hexamethylphosphoramide is used as a stabilizer against thermal degradation in polystyrene and is used as a solvent in research laboratories. Exposure to this substance irritates the eyes, skin and respiratory-tract. Hexamethylphosphoramide is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based on evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals. (NCI05) Qeios · Definition, February 7, 2020

Wood Dust
A lightto dark-colored granular solid mixture that is generated when timber is processed, such as when it is chipped, sawed, turned, drilled or sanded. T he chemical composition of wood dust depends on the species of tree and consists mainly of cellulose, polyoses and lignin, with a large and variable number of substances with lower relative molecular mass. Wood dust is not typically produced for specific uses. However, it is used commercially for wood composts. T he primary routes of potential human exposure to wood dust are inhalation and dermal contact. It is known to be a human carcinogen. (NCI05) Qeios · Definition, February 7, 2020
