Subject: Ventilation - health hazards of lead Author: Tony Gayle [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 20:27:39 03/07/02 Thu In reply to: BILL NAIRN 's message, "VENTILATION OF HOT-METAL TYPE-CASTERS" on 01:27:23 03/05/02 Tue Thanks Bill, I had completely forgotten that milk reduces risk of lead poisoning. Have always consumed daily milk - although now in my 50s skimmed! I never perceived any deterioration of health when I was in the trade (1965-1976) apart from the usual tradition (British anyway) of consuming large amounts of beer! Seating posture at a Linotype not too good either/constantly getting up to unblock distributor/eye strain reading mats/stress of switching from news setting to proof correcting/constant repetitive mechanical noise. If I had my time again I would not have done it! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
