I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone working with fiberglass and not wearing a mask. Do people really do that?
Yes, because although it can cause irritation, it's not known to cause cancer. It's probably fine to be around without a mask once in a while
I have to laugh at the irony of your comment since this thread is about things we don’t yet know are bad for us.
Exactly, the same could be said about asbestos and cigarettes back in the day until the manufacturers couldn't hide the truth anymore.
