Man I wish I could of read that 20 years ago. After several years of welding, and using such chemicals, I think I now know a little more about my lung and breathing troubles. And to think, I've never even thought about such, untill you posted that article. Thanks Res.
Man, talk about bad luck...just happened to substitute the wrong solvent and damaged for life. That sucks. Thanks for posting, Mark. Good info.

I know that grinding doesn't reach the temps that welding does, but that metal is still red hot at the grinding point. It could possibly be a high enough temperature to cause the same chemical reaction as welding. It is a chance I wouldn't want to take.
