Well, dont eat paint chips.
- pixl97 5y agoMore about the dust that is generated when the product is used.
- perl4ever 5y agoIs there any kind of dust that's really healthy to breathe? I imagine pretty much everything that exist in tiny particles has microscopic sharp edges.
- whatshisface 5y agoOn one end of the spectrum there's flour, on the other end there's asbestos.
- perl4ever 5y agoWell, I wouldn't assume flour is harmless in an industrial setting. For example, there's "popcorn lung", (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obliterative_bronchiolitis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obliterative_bronchiolitis) you don't think of artificial butter flavored popcorn as a toxic terror, but in a factory, it can have severe effects over a period of time.
- pixl97 5y agoIn positions we talk about the LD50. When it comes to environmental exposure of things like dust to incidents of lung damage, I'm not sure how we measure said effects. Yea, breathing any significant amount of dusts can be harmful, be we should be very concerned for products where insignificant amounts of material can be harmful.
- perl4ever 5y agoI've wondered about drywall/gypsum dust. The first time I was on a construction site, I was pretty young and nobody was insisting I wear a mask so I didn't at first.
