Safety with chemicals
Common Questions and Answers about Safety with chemicals
safety
I cannot leave work so I am forced to stay working in the lab. Some of the chemicals I work with are Chloroform, toluene, acetonitrile, dimethyl formamide and others. I do not use these chemicals on a daily basis but maybe once a week or so and I work under the hood with protective gloves. Other solvents that we use more often and are found in bottles on every chemist's bench are methanol, ethanol and Acetone.
Many ppl have told me nails also have chemicals that are unsafe while pregnant..
I have researched and see that some pediatricians recommend Melatonin to help with sleeplessness in children with certain neurological disorders. That is fine and well, but I do not agree with giving my child a medication that I don't see he needs and his pediatrician has not ordered.
So here's my question: is it unsafe for a child to *intermittently* take Melatonin? There are many drugs out there that are not OK to 'start and stop'. Is Melatonin one of them?
So im doing a lot of climbing up and down on chairs and counters and stairs and stools lol. Also, heavy lifting, running around, and working with harsher chemicals. Then I go home and clean. Needless to say, im a little worried. But I don't want to bring my baby girl into this world without being able to give her the life she deserves.
Try to avoid most like putting a face mask or 2 over your face. Those toxins aren't anything to play with. I was cleaning the house oneday and it was too strong for me and couldn't breath. Just be careful.
Is there something you can do to move the bleach products so they are not stored above your head? Have you considered being MORE CAREFUL when working near your face with dangerous chemicals such as bleach?
According to the CDC, exposure of bleach on the skin can cause blistering or symptoms similar to frostbite. There is no good reason to take a risk of exposing your eyes to bleach.
Its vapor so its not as bad as secondhand smoke but those things still aren't healthy for you with all the chemicals so ask him to blow it away from you or don't sit next to him
I wouldn't. Those chemicals are corrosive and can seep in to your skin and can end up getting transferred to your baby since it has to stay on your skin for a longer period of time. If you absolutely have to you can shave it. I know a lot of women wax it. Most don't do anything about it. The hair usually just goes away to how you were before pregnancy once the baby is born so it's up to you really.
"Fertilizer plants and depots must report to the DHS when they hold 400 lb (180 kg) or more of the substance. Filings this year with the Texas Department of State Health Services, which weren't shared with DHS, show the plant had 270 tons of it on hand last year.....
Failure to report significant volumes of hazardous chemicals at a site can lead the DHS to fine or shut down fertilizer operations, a person familiar with the agency's monitoring regime said.
I hate being around large groups of people, and tend to shy away, but i also dred being alone, starts making me think eveyone has an agend to get me. I feel scared for my safety if i am alone, and tend to get paranoid that someone is out to get me and kill me. I have been diagnosed with hypertension. They say my hypertension, is not linked to the way i feel. At times i just feel like everything gets too much, too much going on at once, and would rather not live.
As mkh9 pointed out, the solvents used in magic markers are universally neurotoxic, with the exception of some markers especially produced for children (and even then the safety claims are suspect). Thus, sucking on a marker will produce brain damage, the amount of which depends upon the frequency of exposure and the length of exposure.
If you use a semi permanent colour rather than a permanent colour than you will be fine and you have nothing to worry about, just steer clear from permanent colouring and ones with ammonia in them, semi permanent dont have as many chemicals in them and dont soak into your skin (I have asked my dr and a hairdresser)
m 6 weeks away from delivering this baby and had to clean the restroom with things like clorox, scrubbing bubbles, and windex. It hurt my nose but I held my breath for as long as I could and walked out the rr while it did it's thing. 5 minutes later I would come and wipe and rinse with water and I turned on the vent from the restroom for the whole time I was cleaning it. Could this still be an issue?
5 mg of Paxil CR for about 3 years, I had the blues after my last baby and she will be 4 this year and I also got diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I continually fight with myself over getting off of it but it does so much for me that I dont want to. My question is will it harm me in any way for staying on it? I dont want to cause any more problems for myself by staying on it but evidently I lack serotonin and the paxil replaces it. Any info that you might give me would be greatly appreciated.
me and my boyfriend (long distance) have both admitted to each other we're virgins. we've also discovered i'm the one with more experience. he's never gotten a ******** or a hand job, etc. i'm going over to visit him for a while in the summer, i've arranged to get on the birth control pill, and had mutliple talks with my mother and experienced friends about it's use in preventing pregnancies.
I agree with the above poster. Your Dr knows best. I do know several people that have had stents and heart attacks and tmany of their Drs have said if you can walk up 2 flights of stairs briskly and not be out of breath then sex is safe. Do check with your Dr first though.
I mean, you have got to have good hair when pregnant, right? So, I would run it by your doctor but you should be good to go with your hair.
In Australia there is a site called kidsafe that rates all available car seats, prams, strollers, cots etc that are available. It rates everything from safety through to prices. Just wondering if perhaps the US has a similar site!
For the past 2 years I have been smelling heavy chemicals on certain people. It's a combination of mothballs, turpentine, and bleach smells - and so far I only smell it on my 11 year old son (even right after he's taken a shower!) and a co-worker (a very active/healthy man). No one else can smell it and but is so overpowering for me that I have to walk away and remove myself from the area.
