Wood dust is any particle arising from processing or handling wood. Woods are classified into two broad botanical classifications; hardwood is the common name given to the botanical classification Angiosperms , and softwood is the common name given to the botanical classification Gymnosperms . Gymnosperms have exposed seeds whereas angiosperms have encapsulated seeds. Although there are more than 12,000 species of trees recorded, most species are deciduous trees or hardwoods, and only about 800 species are coniferous trees or softwoods. This article discusses production and uses of wood. Wood use depends on availability. Biologically active organic compounds in wood are described. Wood dust is not a component of the ambient environment in the vicinity of woodworking operations. Toxicity information is given for populations exposed to wood dust (mill workers, furniture makers, etc.). Diseases studied include, nonmalignant lung disease, lung cancer, digestive cancer, and Hodgkin's disease. Wood exposure limits for hardwoods and softwoods are listed.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
