I know there are lots of discussions about blasting agents- But I thought I'd share a link I found that pertains to the toxicity of several agents commonly used.

It's a lot of technical mumbo-jumbo and medical jargon, but there are a few pictures and bar graphs to keep you interested

Seems coal slag is as bad as sand, if not worse. Whoda thunk it.

Thanks for the info, Don't know what to do with it other than make sure you don't suck that chit into your lungs.

I like to use ear muffs , a scuba mask ,plus my painters resperator & Gloves when I blast anything.

It a PITA to put all that uf on but its better than the alternative.
