i ation on mehylene l oide - We enjoyed reading

the article in

e Woodworking #80 by Theodore J. Fink enti

tled "Chemical Hazards of Woodworking." We were, however,

concerned about several statements made by the author that

we felt were misleading.

The author contends that "methylene chloride was recently

shown to ause ancer." his satement could misakenly lad your

readers to elieve that methylene chloride auses ancer in hu

seminars throughout the United States and we are constantly

working with trade publications, placing articles on handling

and safety. Copies of Dow's product information an be obtained

rom distributors or by writing The Dow Chemical Co., 2020

Building, Midland, Mich. 48678.

-San Hean, Environmntal Specalst

w m ial, Mdlan, Mch.

i al r s-l felt that the article by TJ. Fink

("Chemical Hazards ...") did your readers a vey big disservice.

The thrust of the article was to invite readers to try more exotic

solvents rather than accept known problems.The most common

solvents (water, acetone, methylene chloride, hexane, naphtha

and ethanol) are fairly safe substances, wruch is why they're used

in the irst place. Far rom avoiding them, one should seek to .

use them instead of more exotic solvents and thereby know

the risks.Basic woodworking safety practices will be sufficient

for protection. Wear gloves to protect your hands, glasses to

protect your eyes and a mask to protect your lungs, and work

in a room with proper ventilation.

-Steve Stoessel, Ph.D., Schenectady,

s, when, in fact, human studies of industrial workers show no

increased ancer risk attributable to methylene chloride

s ure.

In an animal study where laboratory mice and rats were ex

posed to very rugh levels of methylene chloride over their life

times, the mice showed an increase in spontaneously occurring

malignant and benign tumors. The rats did not show an increase

in cancerous tumors. Based on these results, however, the Con

sumer Prduct Safety Co

More on h

i ssion (CPSC) now requirs prducts

that contain methylene chloride to carry a cancer warning label

that reads: "Methylene chloride has been shown to ause cancer

in certain laboratory animals. Risk to your health depends on

level and duration of exposure."

Several other studies of laboratory animals and methylene

chloride did not produce a carcinogenic response.There is also

signiicant data to sugest that the mouse may not be an appro

priate model for predicting carcinogenic efects in humans.

Consumers, like your readers, who may prefer to use methy

lene-chloride-base paint strippers because they are quick and

efective, an minimize their exposure to the chemical by follow

ing a

n e wok s not inferior-A fme magazine, Fine Wood

orking rightly concens itself with cratsmansrup and with

displaying a good balance of hand-tool and machine work.Occa

sionally, though, "purist" readers sugest machine work is inferi

or to hand-tool work. The simple truth is, both are acceptable

and produce work of equal quality.The missed points are also

simple. First, both sides of the crat employ tools, but of differ

ent sorts. Second (and this is where the argument probably

stems from), machine workers oten lack senSitivity, designing

pieces around particular machines, instead of fmding ways to

use machines creatively.

Sure, it gives the professional some satisfaction to tap at a

joint and say to a customer, "There-real mortise and tenon."

"Real" usually meaning hand cut. However, as long as the

joints are necessary for the job, properly proportioned and

well fit, all that matters is the quality of workmanship, and not

how it was achieved.

Some workers buy machines to get around a lack of basic

skill. Still, if they genuinely feel that using machines is the only

way they can get along, okay. They discover soon enough that a

macrune is only as good as its operator, and they either give up

or persevere to become cratsmen, acquiring skills of a diferent

sort. At least they're still working with wood.

In the end, the machine vs.hand argument is redundant, for

both approaches count as craftsmanhp. For purists everywhere,

there are few truly handmade objects around-hand-molded

pottery and snowballs come to mind! So how many of us use

hand-felled, hand-converted timber? Not many I'll wager.

-John Walk, Bimingham, Engand

w important safety rules. These include providing ade

quate ventilation and wearing protective clothing. Consumers

can also obtain the brochure Sipping Paint From Woo, which

was developed by the Halogenated Solvents Industry Alliance

(HSIA) and the National Paint and Coatings Association (NPCA)

in cooperation with the CPSC, and which describes these safety

procedures in detail. It is distributed to consumers through

manufacturers and retailers, or it an be obtained by writing to

In another section, the author referred to

u re Indics jor 199-1990, the American Con

ference of Govenmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) states

that "these limits are not fine lines between safe and dangerous

concentration nor are ya relative

x oj tOxiciy."

Similarly, methylene chloride is not "known to ause heart

attacks," as stated by the author. Proper use of methylene-chlo

ride-containing products by healthy individuals is not likely to

result in an increased risk of heart disease.

n individual with a

pre-existing heart condition, however, might be wise to consult

a physician before using methylene chloride, due to its ability to

metabolize to carbon monoxide.

At Dow Chemical, we are strongly committed to ensuring that

all our products are used properly and saely, and we make

every efort to ensure that our customers understand proper

handling procedures. To that end, we regularly hold customer
