Is Fiber glass insulation as cancer causing as asbestos?
As a carpenter, i find myself more times than not installing fiberglass insulation. In poorly ventilated areas and sometimes for up to 3-4 straight… 8 hrs a day, 5 days a week. They make me wear a dust mask but often times i wont use it because it makes the painful job even worse sometimes. Is this stuff as bad for your lungs as some people say?
Fiberglass can be an irritant but is not listed as a carcinogen. You should read the MSDS for the product you are using. Asbestos has a different length/thickness than fiberglass that causes the asbestos to lodge in the lungs.
