Good find , I have seen the warnings about the phosgene gas but this article helps understand what can happen.
Maybe Jody will just make it a sticky..

WOW! I have been using carb and brake cleaner to clean metal for a long time. I am very lucky to have not had the same incident. Thanks a million for posting.

I did post a link to that article on a page that i emailed to my list about a year ago...pretty scary stuff.

thanks for the reminder, i need to include a link to that regularly to keep folks aware.

be careful out there.

My father in law spent his entire life in the engine rooms of large merchant marine vessels, retiring as a Chief Engineer (on a banana boat, no lies). He now suffers from advanced Parkinson's desease and the medical folks are starting to draw conclusions from him & others that the long term exposure to chemicals and fumes (welding included) were contributing factors to this ailment and cancer too.

Going to bump this to keep it near the top , people need to know this information.

Both my Mom and my Dad suffered from Parkinsons as well as glaucoma. Mom had Alzheimer's too.
they owned a print shop and worked with ink, chemicals, developers, etc.


there is little doubt that working around chemicals and fumes is bad for you.

be careful...wear a respirator even if you have to buy it...dont wash your hands in acetone or mek

someone needs you to come home from work everyday.

thanks,
