Why do these things take so long, were they hoping the person would die first?
Hello Jo.
This makes me stomp with rage. I do not know if the "butter fumes " are considered to be an irritant or cacogenic. Yet the world seems to know that MDF dust and fumes are so very dangerous but it is still produced, sold and used in all areas of society without sufficient warnings or precautions in place. The medical profession know it but actually cannot conclude that it causes lung diseases. Does this case mean that popcorn butter will be banned before MDF is removed ?
