Air Purifiers for Artists

An artist should consider using air purifiers. Lifelong exposure to chemicals, heavy metals, fumes and air borne particles can create serious health problems and health risks for artists.

Artists tend to absorb the chemicals they use in small doses. This chronic, low-level poisoning can be avoided with the proper air purifiers.

Air purifiers will help artists work in a safe way.

  • RISK FACTORS
    A variety of factors can influence how great a risk you are taking when working with your art materials. These factors include:

    1. Amount of Exposure - The larger the amount of material employed, the greater the risk. For example, using a quart of paint thinner is much more hazardous than working with a half-cup.
    2. Frequency of Exposure - How long and how often you work determines the total amount of a chemical that can possibly enter the body. There is a much greater risk from working with a chemical several hours daily than for ten minutes once a week.
    3. Conditions of Exposure - The precautions taken when working with any given chemical will determine the degree to which it can cause bodily harm. Precautions such as adequate ventilation, good housekeeping, and personal protective equipment can reduce your risk of overexposure.
    4. Toxicity - The more toxic a material is, the less it takes to cause body damage. While small amounts of highly toxic lead compounds can cause lead poisoning, it would take very large amounts of slightly toxic iron oxide to poison you.
    5. Total Body Burden - The total body burden of a chemical is the total exposure to that chemical from all possible sources. For example, the total body burden of lead would be the total accumulation of lead in the body from car exhaust fumes, in drinking water coming though lead pipes, in food from the solder in tin cans, in addition to the amount coming from such art materials as lead white paint, lead-containing pottery glazes and copper enamels, lead came and solders for stained glass, etc.
    6. Multiple Exposures - Frequently you are exposed to more than one chemical at a time. Additive damage to the body occurs as each chemical causes a certain degree of damage, with the total damage being the sum of each chemical's effect. An example of this additive effect would be lung damage from being exposed to both irritating nitrogen dioxide from nitric acid etching and to chlorine gas from Dutch Mordant, also used in etching. Sometimes, however, a more serious synergistic or multiplicative effect can occur when the damage from exposure to both chemicals is much greater than would be anticipated from the individual exposures. Many people know that this synergism can occur due to drinking alcoholic beverages while taking medications such as barbiturates. Other known examples of synergistic interactions are smoking and working with asbestos, and drinking and using carbon tetrachloride.

    The chemicals found in art materials can cause a wide variety of occupational illnesses, including damage to skin, eyes, lungs, heart, liver, kidneys, nervous system, and the reproductive system. Illnesses that appear after a single exposure, for example, skin burns from contact with concentrated acids, are called acute illnesses. Because of the swift onset of symptoms it is fairly simple to relate the exposure source to the health problem. Other occupational diseases, called chronic illnesses, only develop after months, years, or even decades of exposure to a chemical, often at fairly low concentrations. The chemicals causing these chronic illnesses are much more insidious and difficult to identify because of the prolonged latency period of the disease. One example is asbestosis or cancer from long term exposure to asbestos fibers.

    For a chemical in an art material to harm you, it first must contact or enter the body. There are three ways in which this can occur: skin contact, inhalation and ingestion.

    Skin contact : Some chemicals, like acids used in etching or solvents like lacquer and paint thinners, can directly irritate the skin to cause a variety of skin problems. Other chemicals, called sensitizers, can cause skin allergies, for example formaldehyde found in some color photography solutions, turpentine, epoxy glues and resins, nickel and chromium compounds, and many tropical woods.

    Many toxic chemicals, however, do not just damage the skin itself, but can actually be absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream, where they can affect other parts of the body. Examples are methyl alcohol found in some shellacs, toluene found in lacquer thinners and silk screen inks, and glycol ethers found in photoetching materials. If the skin's protective barrier is broken by cuts, burns, rashes, etc. then chemicals which would not normally be absorbed through the skin may in fact do so.
