[pianotech] Teflon

[Joe Wiencek]

I don't think you can bring up this subject enough.  I don't believe  
the manufacturer is the best source to trust on the safety of ANY  
chemical or food product.  It's not in their commercial interest. The  
form that piano technicians use most, the microfine teflon powder, or  
any fine powder for that matter can settle in the lungs and be  
extremely difficult to remove.

If you want to understand how fluoride became ubiquitous in dental  
health and municipal water supplies all over, do a bit of research on  
weapons manufacturers that had a very nasty and toxic by-product they  
didn't know how to dispose of.  But don't go to the ADA or mainstream  
media for that info, because you won't find it there.
