Wood Dust Allergies
Well, the allergies are normally to chemicals in the wood, and the usual
suspects are those you can smell in the plank. Woods durable in ground contact are, because they contain fungicides, just as woods from insect-rich tropical areas contain powerful insecticides. Least factor is the mechanical irritant provided by the particle itself. Some government stuff. http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/wis30.pdf http://www.osha.gov/Publications/osha3157.pdf Alleged M.D. http://www.riparia.org/toxic_woods.htm Stay away from lawyer or advocacy sites, they'll scare you out of the shop.
