It's worth a visit to http://woodgears.ca/ these days. Matthias has been thinking about dust in his for the past few weeks and has been photographing it, building and testing a collector and measuring with a dust meter. He includes a discussion he had with a doctor who states that, compared to other things (like smoke from a cigarette) wood dust is not as bad. Cheers, Pat |

Thanks for the link. I was going to write a review about the Dylos particle counter but his review is excellent. |

Interesting reading. I check in at woodgears every once in a while, but these articles are new to me. Thanks for posting this info, Pat. I've not gathered any scientific data, but I can attest that adding even a fairly basic dust collector (Jet DC-1100) to my work area has made a remarkable difference. |

Interesting article. The Doctor seemed to think that tobacco smoke was almost exclusively to blame for lung disease. Although I am not a "clean freak" and only have rudimentary dust control in my shop, I do believe there are many other sources for the irritants that can cause lung disease. Wood dust, especially from oily tropical hardwoods I could see being one of them. Solvents and finishes might be another. Not everyone has the same tolerance to irritants. |
