I try to maintain a zero tolerance to toxic's as much as is possible which means wearing a respirator as well as adequate ventilation. Zero is usually never achieved but that's my starting point. Physiologically I don't handle chemicals well so I act accordingly. I personally am easily over come by the fumes of CA drying so I avoid it.(A disgusting smell) When we listen to our bodies they always tell the truth. Dale Hello list, Twice now I've heard that inhalation of CA vapors causes an accumulation of toxins ("ISOs" the guy at the paint store calls them) that never go away and will eventually cause your body (first guy, a piano tech, said) or your respiratory system (guy at the paint store said) to shut down. I've Googled CA Hazards, and find no corroborative or hard evidence of this, and the MSDSs I've found don't read so alarmingly. Anybody else out there heard these alarmist warnings? I'd seriously consider purchasing a fresh air respiratory system (about $800.00) if I knew these dangers were for real. Otherwise, I'll keep using a fan to blow away vapors, and open windows to supply fresh air. I'm going to call Dryburgh and ask them what they know. Any other research ideas? ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
