Arts, crafts can take your breath away
Eight years ago Helen Braithwaite began
to suspect her batik dyes and waxes were
affecting her health,She had chronic
bronchitis, laryngitis, and severe migraines.
After she quit tistng fibre reactive dyes, the
symptoms went away, .,temporarily. Helen
now has permanent lung damage, some-
thing she attributes to. the dyes.
"It may come as a surprise to many people
involved in arts and crafts that some
materials they are using could be harmful,"
says Cindy Curik, Health Education Pro-
gram Consultant for the Lung Association.
Powdered clays used in ceramics and pottery
contain varying pr portions of free silica,
which, if inhaled ye i8fter year, may lead to
"potters' rot" a r spiratory disease that
takes at least 10 years to develop.
Chronic respiratory disease can also be
caused by inhaling certain wood dusts such
as American and African mahogany and
western red cedar. Painters too, are at risk of
exposure to hazardous materials. Lead
based pigments should not be used.
Accidental ingestion of these harmful
pigments or even bad habits such as putting
the paint brush handle (or Rip) in your mouth
can be dangerous.
Ms. Curik also points out that removing
paint can be as hazardous as applying it, and
here it is not only the painter that encounters
this hazard but also the furniture refinisher.
"Many paint removers contain the solvent,
methylene chloride, which when inhaled in
sufficient amounts is converted to carbon
monoxide in the blood. This reduces the
oxygen carrying capacity of the blood and
thus puts certain groups such as people with
heart or lung conditions, the elderly,
children and smokers at risk," she says.
Although the hazards for people involved
in arts and crafts, either professionally or as
MCCA
IN
a hobby, seem many, the risks can be
reduced or eliminated by knowing and using
safety precautions.
The Lung Association has produced a
booklet called "Health Hazards In Arts and
Crafts". A few safety precautions covered in
the booklet include: .
1. Before you use an art product, try to
find out what the ingredients are. The
manufacturer may be able to provide you
with data sheets on their product. If not,
contact your local arts or craft association. 2.
Read product labels before using the
product. 3. Always work in a studio or room
separate from your living area. 4. Make sure
there is adequate ventilation in the work
area. 5. Do not eat, drink or smoke in the
studio. This will reduce the hazard of
ingesting art materials.
