Dust/Chip Extraction

Dusts from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and metal
can be harmful to one's health. Touching or
breathing-in the dusts can cause allergic reactions
and/or lead to respiratory infections of the user or
bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust,
are considered as carcinogenic, especially
in connection with wood-treatment additives
(chromate, wood preservative). Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked by
specialists.
