| Abstract |
The safe use of art or craft materials requires awareness and training. A host of toxic industrial chemicals and environmental pollutants are often found in these materials. Since The Artist's Complete Health and Safety Guide was first published in April, 1990, new research has changed the safety information about and threshold limit values for a number of chemicals used in art materials. This revised edition is a guide to using these potentially toxic materials safely and ethically. It is also designed to help art workers and teachers comply with health and safety laws in the United States and Canada. Coverage includes technical hazards information in plain language, tables of data on art materials ingredients, steps to comply with health and safety laws, safety checklists for studios and classrooms, detailed descriptions of safe practices, recommendations for proper protective equipment, and a list of non-toxic products for use by children and others who are especially sensitive to toxic substances. |
