I try to maintain a zero tolerance to toxic's as much as is possible  which 
means wearing a respirator as well as adequate ventilation. Zero is  usually 
never achieved but that's my starting point.
Physiologically  I don't handle chemicals well so I act accordingly. I  
personally am easily over come by the fumes of CA drying so I avoid it.(A  
disgusting smell)
   When we listen to our bodies they always tell the truth.

Hello  list,

Twice now I've heard that inhalation of CA vapors causes an  accumulation of 
toxins ("ISOs" the guy at the paint store calls them) that  never go away and 
will eventually cause your body (first guy, a piano  tech, said) or your 
respiratory system (guy at the paint store said) to  shut down.

I've Googled CA Hazards, and find no corroborative or hard  evidence of this, 
and the MSDSs I've found don't read so  alarmingly.

Anybody else out there heard these alarmist warnings?   I'd seriously 
consider 
purchasing a fresh air respiratory system (about  $800.00) if I knew these 
dangers were for real.  Otherwise, I'll keep  using a fan to blow away 
vapors, 
and open windows to supply fresh  air.

I'm going to call Dryburgh and ask them what they know.  Any  other research 
ideas?
