The Huron Expositor, 1984-05-23, Page 7w) — THE HURON EXPOSITOR, MAY 23, 1984 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. 4-H club hears about insurance The fifth regular meeting of the "Wallet Watchers" money management club was held at the home of Lawrence Beane on Saturday, May 5 at 1:30 p.m. The president, Greg Hoggarth, opened the meeting and the minutes were read by the secretary Jacqui Taylor and adopted.
