hello,thank you for the clips,shows what we have been exposed to for decades,without us knowing,makes you wonder if smoking is the least of it,as many with copd were not heavy smokers but seems smoking is easier blamed then the others ,there is a article now on soldiars returning being tested for lung disease,would have thought with all the fighting and trying to stay alive they wouldn't have the time to sit and smoke,so not all smoking but its easier saying you smoked,bernice

People who work in the chemical industries don't know the long term effect it will have on there health. I worked in the foam industry once, and they use a chemical T.D.I. and that can give you cancer if you are exposed to it.

Hi Daz

Im a chemistry teacher and an ex smoker... exposed to bromine gas, sulphur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, particulates (soot in the air) and high levels of carbon monoxide .... in fact when I was going to the smoking cessation sessions and was tested for carbon monoxide .... I showed levels equal to a moderate smoker, even tho I had by then stopped, just because the kids had had Bunsens on that day.

I don't suppose this helped but for me I know smoking was the cause

I know there is a lot of documented evidence and probably even more undocumented info for a lot of the trades.

It wouldn't be hard for there to be a National data base of those with Lung disease linked to occupations to be produced ... that would make interesting reading I am sure ...... dont imagine it will be done

Maybe a project for the BLF?

Keep as well as pos

Hi cheers a would not be surprised if there is all ready a data base ... A would say like others medical profession do tend to blame smoking for ills ... But not as much as industry ... I was surprised to find out shipping co2 is higher than all the planes nocking about and cars ... But you don't read about that

Cheers thanks all the best :)

you never read about most hazards until its to late,then you get read the simplest one cigarettes by the med profession,bernice,
