Can Fiberglass Cause Cancer?

Another air test that i consider to be of paramount importance is the carcinogenic fiber test.

90% of properties in the USA use fiberglass loft insulation. 

Have you ever touched the insulation in your loft and noticed how it irritates your hands and can make them red and itchy?  Well, there is a lot of debate around at the moment regarding this issue.  I am very concerned by this, and intend to take extreme action.  Surely if the material has this much effect when touching it, what must it be doing if you inhale it?

A  study in 1970 on fiberglass inhalation states that "fibrous glass of small diameter is a potent carcinogen" (source 'Consumer Law')

Now I totally agree that we must indeed insulate our homes , but there are safe alternatives.  More and more people are turning to the alternatives.  People are using cotton, newspaper,corn cobs, cork and bricks to name but a few of the innovative ideas.

Asbestos used to be the material of choice, and some older properties still have unacceptable levels of this fiber in the atmosphere to this day, and we all know the dangers of asbestos!

Do yourself and your loved ones a favour and get the levels of your home checked out.
