• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products,
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemical: work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to  filter out microscopic particles.
