WHEN THE DUST SETTLES by Bronwyn Hill

Cases are documented where children have contacted serious diseases from contact with their parents clothes, hair and even the furniture they sit on, which are contaminated with dust and toxins from their workplace.

We need to take a long serious look at the information that is provided, to warn us of all possible risks to ourselves and our families for their long term health and vitality and quality of life – free from respiratory conditions and possible fatal disease – that could be avoided.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer has evaluated the cancer risks from workplace exposures within an number of wood industries. The IARC has classified wood dust as a Group 1 carcinogen (likely to cause cancer) to humans. This classification is the result of a distinct increase in the occurrence of cancer of the nasal cavities and Para nasal sinuses among workers exposed to hardwood dust.

It is the responsibility of workplace employers to provide adequate safety and respiratory equipment for the protection of employees long term health.

Both employers and employees need to be educated of the importance of protecting themselves and their families more by wearing protective clothing and equipment.
