The IAQ Video Network produces another educational video about microbial pathogens, toxins and occupational health hazards.<\/h3>\n

Phoenix, AZ, June 27th, 2012 — Today, the IAQ Video Network and Cochrane & Associates announced the release of another online video to help educate the public about issues that may impact their health.\u00a0 The latest educational video discusses health hazards associated with wood dusts.<\/em><\/p>\n

In 2009, wood dust was added to California’s Proposition 65 list as a substance known to the State of California to cause cancer. Many workers across the nation are exposed to wood dusts at sawmills, wood processing facilities and during construction and renovation activities.<\/p>\n

Wood dust can be created when wood is cut, drilled, sanded, machined or processed.\u00a0 Wood dust becomes a potential health problem when wood particles become airborne.<\/p>\n

\u201cBreathing these particles may cause allergic respiratory symptoms, mucosal and non-allergic respiratory symptoms, irritation to the eyes, nose and throat, pulmonary function impairment, and even cancer,\u201d reported Paul Cochrane, President of Cochrane and Associates, the company behind the IAQ Video Network and the new public outreach video.\u00a0 \u201cIn addition to the health effects of wood dust, airborne dust can create the potential for a dust explosion.\u00a0 Significant accumulations of fine particles of wood dust can result in a fire hazard and explosion risk. We hope this video helps to educate people about potential risks associated with exposure to wood dusts.\u201d<\/p>\n
