While wood dust is not as hazardous as silica dust, long-term exposure can lead to various health issues. These include irritation of the skin, eyes, nose and throat, and in the worst case, even lung or nasal cancer. Working with wood can also expose you to resins, mold, bacteria and unknown chemicals, meaning you won't always know what is in the wood dust and how dangerous it might be.
