Lead paint and asbestos in a restorer's diet

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

More on safety concerns about sandblasting:  Use of a commercial  quality 
dust mask or partial face respirator is recommended to prevent  inhalation of 
fine particulates; they stick to the walls of our respiratory  systems and being 
insoluble, remain there.  If asbestos is present in the  dust, high 
probability of developing a form of cancer (mesothelioma).  
 
Same concerns with spray painting, even with water based coatings.
