Wood Dust Exposure Risks Discussed in New Online Video

PHOENIX - June 9, 2024 - PRLog -- The IAQ Video Network and Cochrane & Associates announced the release of their latest educational video today. Their newest production discusses occupational exposure risks to wood dust.

"The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified wood dust as carcinogenic to humans back in 1995," said Paul Cochrane, President of Cochrane & Associates and the IAQ Video Network. "It becomes a potential health problem when wood particles become airborne. In addition to cancer concerns, breathing these particles may cause allergic respiratory symptoms, and mucosal and non-allergic respiratory symptoms. Western red cedar dust has also been shown to cause asthma. We hope this new video helps to shed some light on why it's important to mitigate exposure to wood dust."

This video was sponsored by a number of organizations and leading industry professionals that work to protect and enhance the public's health and safety. Sponsors include EMSL Analytical, LA Testing, Clark Seif Clark, Zimmetry Environmental, CTSI and Healthy Indoors Magazine to name a few.
