drilling pcb's and health

[Hugo Haesaert]

Hi All !

I remember vaguely an article in New-Scientist mentioning similar 
cases to asbestosis (there's another name, grr that memory) in people 
having been extensively exposed to "glass-wool" and "rock-wool", and 
it has to do with the size of the particles inhaled .  Smaller than 
or bigger than a certain size would not have this effect .

PCB dust is very fine, so the silicosis thesis sounds more 
appropriate here, but what do i know :)

I wonder what is most harmful :  breathing diesel-truck and aircraft-
kerosene fumes every working day, or drill some pcb's in my spare 
time ?

Bye for now .


Keep 'em oscillating :)
