Out of interest I have been using one of those aggressive wire brushes
(twists of coat hanger sized wire on an angle grinder) to de-rust
various items re my kitcar 'upgrade' and that dust seems to get
everywhere and hangabout a bit?

I'm not sure what is the more dangerous, the iron oxide dust or the tool...

I know alll about that Jerry .. one took more layers of skin off my
knee than I knew I had .. in about 20mS .. (ouch) ;-(

Any particular (no pun intended) risk with this type of dust please?


Well, would you choose inhale iron ore ?

What, as opposed to eating or injecting it ? (I thought Iron was good
for us g). Well, no, I don't think I wan't to breath anything other
than 'air', but I wasn't aware of it being particularly hazardous?

Is it?

All the best ..
