Hi guys,
Just looking for peoples opinions on PPE following a mystery illness that, at a very long shot, could have been chemical exposure. My current regime is nitrile gloves for all handling with industrial marigolds for brush bashing polyester. I used a 3M carbon filtered mask (volatile organics rated) for handling liquid resins during mould making etc. I use an FFP2 dust mask when cutting and sanding. Is this adequate? I'm considering an air fed visor if anyone would recomend one particularly.
Thanks

Thanks guys. I will look round to see what else I might have used. I work in pharmaceutical research so I'm pretty clued up on what does what to you.
I do get dermatitis so I'm careful on glove type too. If its of interest most have reactions to latex in gloves so nitrile helps here, the powders can be skin irritant so I get powder free. YOu can get cotton liners for nitrile gloves, I can look up a supplier if it helps anyone out?
I'm suspecting my issue is autoimmune but I was trying to rule out chemical exposure. If anyone has any bioscience training I have a raised c-ANCA count. It sounds like I have same PPE as James.
