It was pointed out in another thread that organic vapor cartridges do not provide any protection against Isocyanate, the key ingredient in polyurethanes. Are there filter cartridges for this fume?
Doing a little research on the web reveals that exposure to Isocyanates can be dangerous. I'm assuming that the risk is most severe when the poly is used in spray painting situations. I'm wondering how serious the risk is for those of use who use brush-on or wipe-on polyurethanes on an occasional basis.
If there is no filter cartridge, is there any way to prevent exposure to Isocyanate other than to work outdoors with it? I would assume there would be similar risk in working with polyurethane glues and foams.
Wow. Who knew woodworking was so hazardous to your health?
