Subject: Health Hazards Author: Tony Gayle [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 13:47:43 02/13/02 Wed As my final contribution friends, for the time being, I wonder if any of you feel you have suffered any long term health effects from working with LEAD, TIN & ANTIMONY (was the latter ingred. called?) Most of the men I worked with were heavy smokers so this would have probably clouded the issue (no pun intended). But one hears today of asbestos related claims and can only wonder. Like you I not only breathed it in and had the odd 'splash' on my legs but also it was common practice to put pies, bags of chips, toast etc. on metal pots. The air quality at The Advertiser in particular was very poor. I am 52 and very fit at the moment but one never knows what is round the corner. I wonder if my ex-employers (both titles now owned by Guardian/Manchester Evening News) have ever had claims made against them? Or if Murdoch has ever had claims against him from ex-printers (now that would be interesting). [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
