Thanks for the post, also, I think Fine Woodworking had a article a few years back about this, too. Now that I got that part out of the way, just wanted to add that you have a thankless and extremely important job; seems like anyone in the public works field, from POTWs to road crews, you all are the ones who really keep the country running. I know it's off-topic, but how million gallons per day does your plant treat? Secondary or tertiary?

: I ran into this article on wood dust problems and toxicity. The more I learn
: about my pastime, the more I use my respirator mask AND dust collectors. I
: wouldn't think of using any sander that I couldn't hook up to a vacuum.

: And people think my job, sewage treatment plant engineer, is risky. Hah. Its
: the only place I know where people wash their hands before going to the
: bathroom.
