Is sawdust hazardous?

Answer:

Answer

All fine dust can be hazardous and clog the lungs and may cause asthma or other lung ailments when exposed long term. Wearing a mask is always recommended. Some trees from places such as Africa can cause rashes of the skin and irritate the lungs much worse than cedar, fir or pine.
